Been down that road. Most likely culprit is trapped air in clutch master which can't be bled out no matter how much you try with the master on the firewall.

Unbolt the master from the firewall, but leave the line attached, and push in the rod while the master's rod end is facing up. Have someone crack the bleeder when you do this. Repeat till you get little if any rod movement. Watch the reservoir real closely and often while bleeding.

The '83-92 style master cylinder can often be bled in-situ

the '93-94 and '95-current master cylinders cannot.

so you cant bench bleed a 93 ranger clutch then correct. Just put it on the firewall and bleed as normal?
