Ranger clutch master cylinder

[coolbrze]

Just had the clutch & slave cylinder replaced on my 2002 Ranger. 2 weeks after, was having issues w/ the clutch again. I took it back in & they said they bled the line (had air in it). Said if it happened again the clutch master cylinder is bad and it's $385 to replace. Does this sound right, the clutch MC & the $?

I'd imagine it's the same general style as my 97 4x4, the first time I replaced it I priced it at a shop and they wanted around $500, I bought a Haynes manual and was able to do it myself no problem. Ended up the new MC I put in was bad out of the box and not even 5k later it basically exploded. You have to disconnect/remove rear drive line, the skid plate, cross member, starter, transmission and probably the exhaust to get to the clutch and MC, so the money sounds about right to me too.

No You don't have to pull any of that to do the Master Cylinder. That is about right price for a shop, but you can do it yourself alto cheaper. Part is anywhere from 30-90 depending on if you want to use your same line. A bit of advice is to get the "good" hydraulic line removal tool. The plastic one that come with it is crap.
