To replace the slave cylinder in a 1988 Ford F150 with a 6 cylinder engine and front-wheel drive (FWD), you will first need to locate the slave cylinder, which is typically found on the transmission bell housing. Next, you will need to disconnect the hydraulic line and mounting bolts securing the cylinder in place. Once removed, you can install the new slave cylinder by reversing the removal steps, ensuring proper alignment and tightening of bolts to prevent any leaks or malfunctions. It is recommended to bleed the hydraulic system after installation to remove any air bubbles and ensure proper functioning of the clutch system.
You Must remove the trans to access the slave... on the 5 speed for sure.
you need to be more specific on year model there are a few different designs that all remove differently
4 nuts under the dash around the brake pedal
Yes , the slave cylinder for a HYDRAULIC clutch is inside the manual transmission bellhousing. It slides over the transmission input shaft and is bolted to the transmission
if its a standard/manual truck. slave cylinder would be located on the firewall next to the brake booster, and would take standard dot 3 brake fluid.
Yes , the slave cylinder for your hydraulic clutch is inside the manual transmission bell housing. It slides over the input shaft to the transmission and is bolted in place inside the transmission . To CHANGE the slave cylinder the transmission has to be removed , but the lines to the slave cylinder CAN BE BLEAD from a fitting that extends outside of the transmission bellhousing
Bad or improperly installed throw out bearing? broken throw out bearing fork? hydraulic? bad slave cylinder?
couple of different reasons for this. most likely, there is no fluid presure in the line to the slave cylinder due to a leak in the line or slave cylinder itself. second, less likely but i have seen it happen; the throw out bearing disintegrated leaving nothing between the fork and the presure plate so when the slave cylinder push rod extends, there is nothing to push it back. problem one would need a new line or slave cylider and your rolling. problem two means the transmission is coming out and you may as well do the clutch while your in there. hope that helps.
Best answer I've found is here (I have a 2001 F150): http://www.clutchwizard.com/fordtruck.htm Basically the problem is that the master cylinder is at the wrong angle to bleed the system completely with the master cylinder attached to the firewall. You have to take the master cylinder off the firewall and detach it from the clutch pedal, then tilt it to get the air into the line. After that, you bleed it in more or less the usual way, with a helper operating the bleed valve, but pushing the piston directly instead of pushing the clutch pedal. The alternative is to assemble the whole system off the truck and bleed it on a bench. Good thing they made the master cylinder and the brake cylinder out of PLASTIC, and put the slave cylinder INSIDE the bell housing, huh? (My slave cylinder went at less than 60K).
how do you adjst clutch on 87ford f150
no it would not.
