nwe to the forum, and clutch problem.

[YFZER359]

hey guys.

i just inherited a 1994 Ranger from my brother. Its the 4L V6, 5-speed. It has about 190,000 KM's (about 150,000miles) and just lately, the clutch doesnt want to work. After aout 8 days of -20C or below

It has no pressure and i have to pump it to get in into gear and switch gears. The clutch and slave cylinder were replaced last spring. I read an article yesterday about the master cylinders being infamous for letting air in. Could an air bubble cause this problem?

I'm goin to the Ford dealership in a few hours to see how much a master cylinder is. Since it probly hasnt been replaced for the 15 years its been drove.

any suggestions are welcome. As i really want this problem to go away.

Have you tried bleeding the air from the system. Their is a bleeder screw located on the drivers side of the transmission up toward the top of the transmission just behind where the manual clutch linkage would have been located way back when they had mechanical linkages. About 10 oclock position if the the top is 12. The bleeder is almost straight up above the o2 sensor on the exhaust Y pipe. Hope this helps you out!

i'm gunna try bleeding it once my dad gets home.

I priced out a new master, its only $175 and they dont look too hard to put in. So if bleeding dont work, out with the old, in with the new

haha, i love this guy
