Scraping sound

[Rangerman87]

After replacing the clutch in my '88 4x a few months ago I noticed a scraping sound when I'd be driving for maybe the past month.I thought maybe the brakes but they checked out ok and it seems to be coming from the bellhousing.I installed a crappa(napa)auto slave cyl,it leaked,put the ford one back in and no problems.Never changed the master,if it ain't broke don't fix,could that be causing the scraping,it seems as if the clutch isn't fully releasing,probably a dumb question but just would like to know.When i bought the truck it had a stiff pedal and it was nice,i could easily break traction,not now,kinda sucks.Any advice would be great,thanks.

Dose it roll in gear with the clutch depressed on flat ground ?

 

[Rangerman87]

nope

 

[Duane867]

Did you have a good pedal after replacing the slave with the original ?
Are you sure you bled the system properly ?
Did you check the fly wheel for cracks ?

 

[Rangerman87]

to answer the question,the pedal feel sucks now and i bled the system the best i could.as far as the flywheel,i installed a new one,since i already had it apart might as well.might be better off just taking it in to be bled.

Thats what I would do if you dont feel comfortable bleeding it your self.

 

[Rangerman87]

tested it today,the rolling part and yes it does.taking it in tues.

If it grinds with the clutch pedal depressed I would say the throwout bearing.
