Clutch - Master/slave can't solve my problem

[Gagst]

Hi guys!

So here's my story, take a seat! I'm in canada, during winter we have temperature like -30 Celsius and i think my clutch does not like that!. so Before the extreme temp, i changed my Slave AND my master because last winter and summer my clutch seemed to not disengaging sometimes and had leakage on the master.

So, Slave changed, clutch changed, bearing changed, and clutch resurfaced( not sure about this word, english is not my first language) AND Master changed Too. It should be all nice and clean but no. During winter ( december to Now) i had problem with the clutch, even if its all brand new, less than 3000 km. I Bled the system like 2-3 times, changed my master AGAIN thinking i had a faulty one, the exact same thing every time.

When i bleed the system, my pedal is Firm, like brand NEW ( my father's friend have a 2012 ranger that i could check to compare). After 1 week, half of an inch of my pedal travel is 'nothing' it begins to be Firm after That. and 4 weeks later, i have like 3-4 inches of travel before i Get something. My 'friction point' is almost to the floor but GEars shift fine ( Its not the TRanny).

When i Bleed my truck from the slave under the truck, without removing the master, after 3-4 weeks, there is like ' milky creamy Fluid' that get out first, Then Bubbles, THen normal fluid.

I guess that i have air that enter the system over time? how could it be possible? no leak on master, no leak on slave everything is new! COuld it be the HOses? the connectiong of the hose to the master? My fluid reservoir have a problem? Is it my way of bleeding thats is not correct? what is the creamy fluid, WAter in my system, rust, dust?

**I have benched bled the master before intalling it, to keep the master upside down to let air bubble to go UP, i did it 3 times in fact **


i've looked for this problem on the forum but didn'T find anything that could help me.

Thanks alot if you can help me out! i tried to but a lot of details to help you understand

How much was machined off the flywheel when it was resurfaced?
Did you shim it rearward to compensate.

That will cause the top of the pedal travel to be dead, and it to not release fully.

It will also cause the slave to go past its stop(snap ring on end of slave) and it will suck air from there.

FYI, that was very well written for English not being your first language. Some of our members could use whatever lessons you took...

I brough it to a shop to make sure its done correctly for 40$. they are known to do these kind of jobs in my region, i hope that'S not the problem lol...

One thing i forgot to Say, after some time, my ' dead zone', i mean the travel of the pedal where i have no resistance, it stop to expand. I mean that, after 3-4 weeks, the dead zone is like 2 inches long and it stays like that!

i'll try by changing all the Hoses dans the Reservoir, this way i'll ahve, brand new master, brand new slave, brand new hoses, brand new fitting, brand new reservoir brand new clutch, bearing... I Hope my clutch system will feel like brand new
