ISSUE Clutch problems oh boy

[da fed]

I bought a 96 2wd xlt ranger from a friend that has been sitting for 10 years. The problem with it was when the transmission got warmed up the clutch stopped working. Alright new luk clutch new slave cylinder new master cylinder and bleed correctly. This truck will not go into gear when its running. Help

The best way to get the clutch bled is to bench bleed the master cylinder and hose as an assembly (there's many youtube videos about this process). Aside from that you have air in the master cylinder which completely sucks to get out... some people have luck putting a vacuum pump on the reservoir, there's videos about that too. The dumbest way that works sometimes (I've had good luck with it but others don't) is just to compress the clutch pedal with the engine not running or in neutral then slip your foot off the pedal and repeat several times...

I've done everything but a overnight gravity bleed.

Gravity bleeding almost never works on these unless you somehow have a bunch of air in the slave cylinder. The air bubble is almost always at the master cylinder as the piston is at a goofy angle.

I hate this method as it seems messy and awkward but some people swear by it but they'll take the clutch switch off and the snap ring for the master cylinder piston and pull the piston out under the dash then slowly put it back in.

EVERYTHING. Is there something simple I'm missing?

I bleed the whole system outside of the truck.

I'll also add I accidentally started it in gear with the clutch suppressed and it didn't jump off the jack stands.
