Hi everyone,
So long story short my clutch hydraulics quit on me. I found white gunk in the slave coming out of the bleeder and a rusty shaft on the master, (Evidence of water intrusion). So I replaced the master and flushed the fluid. It helped a bit but the clutch is still not fully disengaging and blocking me from every gear. I did bench bleed the master, 3 times, and I'm confident there's no air in it. So looks like I'm pulling the tranny.
Now I've been checking the forums and google and I come up with both yes and no. So is the stock clutch in a 2002 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0L self adjusting or non-self adjusting?? I bought the truck with 45K miles and it has 85K now. I can't imagine the previous owner would have replaced the clutch, but maybe? Some forums say it is and some say it isn't, does anyone know for sure? If the clutch only has 40K miles on it, maybe I can get away with just replacing the slave. I'm going to pull the tranny this week and see how it is.
Thanks,
