I Recently replaced the clutch system, including slave cylinder, and flywheel on my 1993 Ford Ranger, 4.0L, 5 spd manual transmission. What I’ve done so far:
- Removed (shifter, driveshaft, starter, exhaust pipes, transmission, flywheel, clutch, slave cylinder)
- Replaced flywheel, slave cylinder and clutch assembly with new Parts
- Reinstalled flywheel, clutch, slave cylinder, transmission, exhaust, starter, driveshaft, and shifter.
- Bled clutch system
Clutch will now not shift into 1st and 2nd gear, but it will shift into neutral,3rd,4th,5th,reverse with ease.
I thought it was a shift rail so I checked it out and found out it was in neutral with no problems.
Now im thinking it’s the shifter forks, but I want to know if there could be another way before opening the transmission. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
