Ford Ranger Concentric Clutch Slave Cylinder LSC002B

This is a concentric clutch slave cylinder (CSC) with the release bearing built in. It bolts to the front of the transmission, around the input shaft, inside the bellhousing. It crosses to LSC002B.

Listed fitment: 1988-1992 Ford Ranger, F-150, F-250 and F-350, 1988-1992 Bronco, 1988-1990 Bronco II, 1988-1992 Aerostar, 1991-1992 Explorer, 1988-1998 E-250 Econoline, 1988-1989 E-150 and E-350 Econoline, 1991 Mazda Navajo, and 1989-1997 Thunderbird and Cougar with a manual transmission.

Because the slave lives inside the bellhousing, the transmission has to come out to change it. When a clutch job is already being done, replace the slave at the same time. An old slave that starts leaking after a new clutch goes in soaks the new disc and means pulling the transmission a second time.

Signs the clutch hydraulics are failing: the pedal sinks slowly to the floor or stays down, the pedal feels soft or spongy, the reservoir level keeps dropping, fluid is wet on the firewall or the bottom of the bellhousing, or it grinds going into gear because the clutch no longer releases all the way. If bleeding brings the pedal back for a day and then it goes soft again, a seal is leaking and the part needs replacing, not more bleeding.

Before install, compare it to the old unit: mounting bolt pattern, bearing face height and the line fitting should match. Bleed the system until the pedal is firm, then check that the clutch releases cleanly with the engine running.
