i have a 2004 ranger 3.0l with the 5 speed manuall tranny. i recently had the pilot bearing replaced and it shifts better then it did. i have noticed though since then sometimes the clutch pedal drops about half way to the floor before you can feel it work, like a brake pedal with air in the lines. I have talked to the mechanic who bled the system and he says they are difficult to get the air out. the clutch is new and this problem only does it about once or twice every couple weeks then works perfect after that. there are no leaks outside the master or slave cylinders so i was told it could be fluid leaking past seals inside the master or slave. if i pump the clutch pedal alot it sometimes gets better and sometimes while i drive it totally gets better and feels perfect again. The mechanic also said thoses trannies use ATF instead of the normal gear oil, i hadnt heard that before...does that sound right?
