Transmission, M5OD 92 Bronco

[abmxz6]

hey guys, I was just wondering what the best way was to change the clutch on my 92 bronco. my dad seems to think just sliding it back a few inches would be best, and I think it would be easier just to drop it and pull it out from under the truck. what do you think?

yo abm

Some have said that they move trans & Xfer case back far enough to get to clutch

See 13.Move the transmission to the rear until the input shaft (7017) clears the case (7005). Lower the transmission from the vehicle.

REMOVAL

Transmission (4x4)

Transmission removal is the same as the 4x2 with the additional step of removing the transfer case. Refer to Section 07-07A Electronic Shift at http://www.diesel-dave.com/vehic/manual/stj/stj77a09.htm

I have done it both ways. If i have a reason to sit the tranny out of my way then i do so. FYI flywheel inspection removal/reinstall as well as pilot bearing/bushing replacement does require a good bit of room so the tranny will prolly be in the way if under the truck. To each his own way and reason for doing it his way.

Yo Elmo,

I agree! It is similar to replacing oil pan and /or gasket..jack eng up while loosening a few parts vs pulling engine

either way, fragile vacuum hoses and device, exh pipes, wiring harnesses/connector feel the strain.

I found out before I was 6 yo when dad and uncles would go to local yard to swap LaSalle engines into Caddies.. many parts would snap as they jacked eng up.

btw, for posterity, in at least 92-96 Bronco, F Series and almost all other models;

"...The vacuum hoses used in the passenger compartment control circuit are constructed from PVC plastic material.

The vacuum hoses used in the engine compartment are constructed of Hytrel. Because of the materials used, the vacuum hoses should never be pinched off during diagnosis to locate a leak. Use Rotunda Vacuum Tester 014-R1054 or equivalent to locate vacuum leaks. A wood golf tee can be used as a plug when it is necessary to plug one end of a vacuum hose for leak test purposes..." from F-150, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty and Bronco, F-Super Duty Motorhome Chassis Workshop Manual
