4.0 Swap into 1986 Ranger - Electrical Help Needed

All true, did it start before the clutch switch was installed? Did you have the AT jumper there before?

I basically gave up on this for a year. And this summer I pulled it out of mothballs and got it running! Last week, I installed a new 93-94 explorer hydraulic clutch, new slave cylinder, new flywheel, new clutch disc, and new various fittings. Everything new.

Bench bleed the hydraulic cylinder and attached hoses, and then hooked it up via the quick connector and bled the slave cylinder. the normal amount of air bubbles came out.

I tried to take it for a test drive, but I couldn't get it into 1st gear, or any gear. If I really pushed on the shifter, the vehicle would kind of roll forward an inch or so, but would not go in gear. Clearly the clutch disc is not seperating completely from the flywheel.

I checked to see if everything was bled properly, and I believe it is. I ran an entire quart through it to be sure. Bench bled and gravity bled.

Because its in an 86 chassis, and a 93-94 explorer hydraulic clutch, is the pushrod the wrong size (from the clutch pedal)? How can I check?

Thoughts?

I can't give you an answer but maybe something to consider. I have an 88 (Original master cylinder AFAIK) with 01 M5OD, 92 clutch kit and flywheel, and newer style slave cylinder and things just work ok. (Not great. It's definitely harder to shift when it's warm.)

The rod should be easy enough to remove from the pedal. Compare travel on the pedal and off?
