I own a 2007 PJ 2 x 4 Ford ranger.
After owning 3 Nissan Patrols I love my Ranger.
My wife and myself are 'Grey Nomads' travelling around Australia pulling a 24 foot caravan.
We are both retired.

 

Hi,
I have just had to replace the clutch in my dearly loved Ranger.
I had only done 43,000 klms.
The last clutch was replaced with a heavy duty clutch.
I was told by the mechanic that the reverse gear in the Ranger has a high ratio gearing.
In the past 12 months I have also replaced the standard 15 inch rims to 16 inch rims.

Question: Do you thing that the larger rim could put more strain on the clutch because of extra torque required to get started?
