What kind of slave cylinder?

Plastic or aluminum?

The '88-92 Rangers are supposed to use an aluminum slave cylinder
with either a Red or Black coupler.

the '93-up "plastic" slave cylinder uses a yellow or "gold" connector
and this is not compatible with the earlier line.

Presuming that the line has a black connector also (they fade to a purplish color)
the compatibility issue I mention isn't your specific problem.

However you should look up inside the female coupler to see if the
barb teeth that retain the male couple are missing or bent.
