hello, I have a 2000 ranger 5 speed manual transmission with a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. This is a continuation on having my hydraulic line popping off the slave cylinder when the clutch rusted frozen due to the truck sitting for 5 weeks with a lot of rain, and when I applied a lot of clutch peddle force, it popped out. I cleaned the connection of a small amount of corrosion and installed the hydraulic line back insuring that the locking clip was secure. I bled the system and drove the truck fine for about 50 miles. Last night the line popped out again under normal use driving down the road. I am wondering if I absolutely have to replace the slave cylinder with the new master cylinder assembly. I most likely will try only replacing the master and leaving the slave and try it. Just wanted some insight from those who may know for sure. Being that the connection does not leak when its together I am thinking that only the master cylinder assembly will need replacing. I am assuming that the transmission has to be dropped to get to the slave cylinder and I do not know if the inside of the connection has parts that may wear with age. I do not have too much experience with transmissions. I could handle replacing the master cylinder assembly, but I would not be able to drop the transmission. thanks
