Detailed Description
The LuK LMC166 clutch master cylinder is a hydraulic replacement component for Ford manual transmission systems that use a clutch master cylinder and external slave cylinder arrangement. It is engineered for vehicles such as the 1983-1987 Ford Ranger, 1983-1987 Ford Bronco II, and 1986-1987 Ford Aerostar. This part number, LMC166, is also cross-referenced to Sachs SH5014 for the same application.
LuK’s background in hydraulic clutch release systems makes this a practical OE-style service part for restoring clutch pedal hydraulics, pedal feel, and fluid transfer in affected Ford trucks and vans.
What It Helps Fix
- Soft, spongy, or inconsistent clutch pedal feel
- Hydraulic fluid leakage at the master cylinder
- Difficulty disengaging the clutch
- Clutch pedal that sinks or does not return properly
- Loss of hydraulic pressure in the clutch release system
Installation Notes and Tips
- Fits 1983-1987 Ford Ranger, 1983-1987 Ford Bronco II, and 1986-1987 Ford Aerostar, with notes for specific bleeding procedures on some applications.
- Because this unit is not pre-filled or pre-bled, the hydraulic system must be filled and bled after installation.
- Refer to the vehicle-specific bleeding notes for Bronco II, Ranger, and Aerostar applications, especially where slave cylinders do not have bleed screws.
- Confirm push rod alignment and pedal engagement before returning the vehicle to service.
Quality Assurance
