clutch pedal getting weaker and weaker

[turboL]

so i just put a new clutch in my truck. while i was replacing all the bearings, the dipshit tech i was working with bent the spring that goes on the trainsmission shaft, its the one thatis on the slave cilynder. i bent it back, but ever since then the truck clutch pedal has just gotton weaker and more free travel in it. the clutch still works fine, but i fear if it gets any worse i wont be able to drive it anymore. oh and its a 99 ford ranger five speed with the 3.0 in it

Sounds like a hydraulic leak. Gotta find it.

time to replace the slave cylinder.....if you don't, it will leak all over the clutch causing you to have to replace the clutch.....

 

[MAKG]

Unless it's the master that's leaking....

 

[mjonesjr]

more than likely it is the slave cylinder.......Rangers are well known for slave cylinder failures...

But you never know, need to find the leak...
If leaking from bellhousing - Slave
If leaking down the line and or firewall - Master
