IIRC, it's an Isuzu made MUA. Someone can chime in if I'm wrong.

IF IT HAS VERY MANY MILES ON IT IT DEFINATELY WONT BE AN ORIGINAL BORG WARNER ,, ,,,,, YOU HAVE AN MUA THAT IS ALL THAT WAS EVER USED IN AN ISUZU 4X4, AFTER 88 NO EXCEPTION , UNTILL 98 TROOPER ONLY WENT TO THE ASIN WARNER , JERRY

Thanks. I figured. The problem is - The shops want to charge a large amt money to do rear main seal. $800.00. The clutch was more. Truck is in great shape other than this. I have never done a clutch but i did my own head on my monty and have put engines in in the past. Is this something a back yard mechanic can do? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

CERTAINLY DOABLE , JUST RENT A FLOOR STYLE TRANS JACK, IT IS A LOT SAFER THAN A REGULAR FLOOR JACK BUT CAN BE DONE WITH A COUPLE OF EXTRA HANDS , THAT TRANNY IS VERY HEAVY, A COMPLETE CLUTCH ASSY BOUGHT LOCAL AND YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF CLOSE TO 500 JUST BE CAREFULL AND WHEN REMOVING THE TRANS CASE BOLTS TO ENG BLOCK MARK EACH BOLT WHERE IT GOES , THERE ARE 3-4 DIFF LENGTHS AND YOU CAN DAMAGE TH E BLOCK WITH THE WRONG BOLTS JERRY

*****
To do a clutch, you need the clutch disk, the pressure plate, the throwout bearing and a pilot bearing. This is what comes in a "clutch kit".

You should also allow for time to have the flywheel surfaced.
