Slave cylinder
I have a '96 Ranger 4x4 5 speed w/OD 4.0 V6, I just replaced clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder and master cylinder. I cannot get the slave cylinder to fully engage enough to release the clutch. I have bled the system by the book over and over. The slave cylinder does engage the pressure plate, but not enough to release. Could the new slave cylinder part be bad, I have checked the master cylinder and know it is ok. I hate to have to pull it completely apart again without checking all other options. Any suggestions.

inside the cab, pull the starter interlock from the clutch rod, disconnect the rod from the pedal arm. You will see a circlip in the master over the piston. Pull the circlip, pull the piston till just the air and a little fluid escapes, pump the master a couple of strokes repeat the above, reassemble than bleed per the manual, open the bleeder and let gravity bleed. Might have to bleed the bleeder a couple of times, biggest thing is the air in the master.
