Detailed Description

The Sachs K0116-01 clutch kit is specified for select 1990-1992 Ford Ranger, 1991-1992 Ford Explorer, and 1991-1992 Mazda Navajo models with standard transmission applications. The fitment notes identify a 10-inch clutch diameter, 1-inch input dimension, and 23-tooth spline configuration, making this part a focused replacement for the listed vehicles. Use K0116-01 when servicing a Ford Ranger or Ford Explorer clutch system that matches these dimensions and spline requirements.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clutch slippage during acceleration
• Difficulty engaging or disengaging gears
• Shudder or chatter from worn clutch components
• Loss of drivability in manual-transmission Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, or Mazda Navajo models
• Service replacement for a worn clutch assembly matched to the listed spline and diameter specs

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s transmission specifications before installation, including clutch diameter, input dimension, and tooth count. The fitment notes indicate that the slave cylinder includes a bearing, but that bearing is not included in this clutch kit. Confirm the existing hydraulic and release components during service on Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger, and Mazda Navajo applications. Match the part number K0116-01 to the vehicle’s exact configuration before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Sachs is a recognized drivetrain brand used in OE and aftermarket service applications. K0116-01 is cataloged for the listed Ford and Mazda fitments and should be selected based on the confirmed vehicle and transmission specifications.
