Lost clutch pressure...HELP!

[ShittyRanger666]

I have a '93 Ranger with a 4.0L V6 with a manual Mazda trans.

I recently put in a new clutch, and after getting it back together, I don't have any pressure when pressing the pedal.
I bought new master and slave cylinders, bled them out, and is still not functioning properly.

Any knowledge on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Charlie

Sounds like you've got an air pocket in the the master cyclinder- it won't bleed properly as it's mounted in the truck. Most everyone runs into this. There's several ways around this, to get a good bleed. What worked great for me was to unbolt the master cylinder from the firewall (disconnect the rod from the pedal), and hold it vertical (rod down) and push the rod in a few times. That frees up the trapped air pocket, and then you can reassemble the master to the firewall and pedal and bleed it again normally. Pull the wheelwell liner (it's easy) and work through the wheelwell. Good luck, and welcome to the site.
