hydraulic clutch quick connect fitting

[mcm8301]

1996 Ranger, 3.0L, 5 spd. manual, 2wd
Removed fitting prior to replacing clutch with tool provided. Cannot get fitting to re-connect. Not sure what to do. Does not feel like it will go back in deep enough to engage?
Thanks,
Mike

When you reinstall the tranny and compress the slave cylinder it builds pressure in the slave. Crack the bleeder screw open to let the pressure out and it'll probably plug right in. Happens to me almost every time.

Thank you!

Ditto. I usually cant even get the trans in the whole way without cracking the bleeder.
