[bigredneck61088]

On my 98 4x4 4.0 i replaced clutch, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate... the whole luk kit... 4 months later yesterday and today, i cant get it to go in gear with the clutch in... after fiddling with it i can get it in... then it runs and drives fine... no grinding or anything... its only happened twice and both times i was stopped??? any ideas??? clutch master???

i know this is heretical, but sometimes the clutch
pedal arm bends so that it doesn't give a full stroke.
you can twist the pedal clockwise with a pipewrench
and put a dimple in the floor with a hammer where
the arm hits. i have done this to two rangers and
they have both worked fine for years.

Replace the slave.

man this guy always says its the slave.......id say master cylinder i just had a very simaler problem and put a master in mine. this guy said it was the slave and it wasnt. the initial bleeding is a pain but i suggest trying to bleed the system you have now and change the fluid....see if that helps any

He didnt replace the slave smart ass.

BTW....

Sine these have a quick connect fitting, there is no fluid loss when you disconnect the slave...therefore, there is no way air can get into the sytem. So basically what you are saying is that his master cylinder "magically" got air in it while he was replacing the clutch. And since he DIDNT replace the slave, there was no way air was there either. Wasnt new, therefore, was bled and working perfectly when he disconnected it, and its a sealed thing due to the disconnect, which equals no air.

Next time think WHY someone said something BEFORE you flame them.

You replaced your master cylinder.....new masters and new slaves dont come with fluid in them....just air. Suprising huh?

Lol^

I would first give the clutch a good bleeding.

If the situation does not improve, remove the line from the slave and check the pedal, it should be rock solid, if not, the master could be bad/have air in it. If it is rock solid and you bled it thoroughly, then we can point fingers at the slave.

You can blow the master cylinder seals by pressing the clutch pedal while its disconnected from the slave.

Notice how I said check the pedal, not, push the pedal to the floor.
