take it to the shop u nee a special tool to do it
The slave cylinder on a 1988 Ranger can not be repaired. The cylinder will have to be replaced, then the system bled.
The clutch has two main parts; the master clutch cylinder and the slave cylinder. Follow the line down from the master cylinder to find the slave. Most of the time the slave needs to be rekitted or replaced and then bled. That should fix it.
The clutch IS supposed to go to the floor. Do you mean why doesn't it release the transmission from the engine. It probably needs to have air bled from the master cylinder and the slave cylinder.
If you've changed the slave cylinder and bled it several times, the next step would be to check the MASTER cylinder and if that doesn't work then your clutch is burned out.
The shaft seal will leak or not work when the system has been properly bled.
Yes it does. It uses the brake fluid reservoir for it's operation. If you are having trouble getting it in gear the slave cylinder at the engine needs to be bled.
It varies with what area of the country you live in. Call a couple of local garages for estimates. Are you sure it needs to be replaced? I have a 1995 Ranger and the slave cylinder leaked until I was left with no clutch movement. I refilled the reservoir and bled the slave cylinder until the fluid ran clear. At first, the fluid was black, but after a while the fluid cleared up and I never did have to replace the slave cylinder. Try bleeding the cylinder first, and see if that fixes the problem.
If you did not bench bleed the master, you need to do that.
If the clutch stays on the floor after you push in the clutch first check to see if you have clutch fluid in the reservoir, if you do then it could just be because the clutch needs bled. If that doesn't do it then maybe your slave cylinder needs bled or replaced. From what I have seen it is generally because the slave cylinder needs replaced. Not to confuse you but the things that make up your clutch system are the clutch master cylinder, the slave cylinder, and the clutch dampner. If it is because the clutch needs bled start with the clutch master cylinder then do the slave cylinder. If it is not because of lack of fluid then check up under the dash and see if the spring on the clutch pedal is attached. Hope that doesn't sound to confusing.
sounds like air in the system, to properly bleed the slave cylinder you must remove the mount screws and hold it so the bleed port is up
get a new one then bleed your brakes A new Ford master cylinder must be bench bled before it is installed, or it will be impossible to bleed the system later.
No, they break the first time you hit the clutch. They are there to help line up the slave cylinder push rod with the throw out arm.
