I have a Ford Ranger Edge 2002 4.0 v6. Recently while driving my clutch pedal went to the floor, after taking an in depth look at the vehicle I've determined that the clutch was not the issue but signs pointed toward the slave cylinder. I've tried bleeding the system twice now, which will give me clutch back in the vehicle for a limited period of time, however I have recently found a slow leak coming from inside the vehicle, which although i can't see dripping appears to be coming from above the clutch pedal. Would this leak indicate a different problem ie: the master cyl. is leaking not the slave, or should i still be focused on repairing the leak in the slave.

thank you in advance.

 

Sounds like clutch master is leaking. If the slave is leaking you can pull the rubber plug on the side of the bell housing and look inside and see if it is wet from the slave leaking. The master isn't to hard change but can be a pain to bleed. Good luck.

 

disconnect slave, Check master for holding pressure, it's probably not. if not replace master, re-bleed system per installation instructions.
