2.3L ('83-'97) need help

[cathi]

I have a 1990 ranger 4 cylinder 2 wheel drive I had to replace the clutch master cylinder somehow the clip that holds hydraulic line in trans got lost does anybody know where I can get one I've been looking can't find one

I see it has a quick coupling. What does the clip do?

What clip exactly are you talking about? There's a white plastic ring around the end of the hose which is what the removal tool pushes against then there's a steel spring clip in the slave cylinder fitting that the end of the hose goes into. The hose will work without the white ring, but the steel spring clip in the slave cylinder is needed and the only way to get it that I know if is with a slave cylinder.
