Clutch
I am having some major issues with my clutch, I have been working on it for 46 days.
The throw out bearing is squeeling, the clutch pedal feels mushy sometimes.
Here is a total recap of what's done:
1. New Pilot Bearing
2. New Clutch Disk
3. New Pressure Plate
4. New Throw Out Bearing
5. New Fork
6. New Input Shaft Bearing
7. Rebuilt T-Case
8. New Slave Cylinder
9. Bleed System As TSB States
10. Sucked Tranny Into Bell Housing
11. Wrapped Ratchet Strap Around Bell Housing / 1" crack on the edge.
12. Cried
13. Swore
14. Threw Tools
15. Worked On The Piece Of **** Straight For 46 Days
So is it possible to have a bad master cylinder? I got theTSB for bleeding the cylinders and I bought the bleeding tool also. I have a Elephant gun chambered at 300 Win Mag, and let me tell you I thought about it, 46 days, 46 dang days. Thanks for the help.

Are you reading a Haynes manual?

Ok, so I didn't use the brain when I posted. It is a Inline 6 (4.9L) with a Borg Warner T-18 4 speed tranny and it's 4 wheel drive. I have read the Chilton's manual, skimmed the Haynes, and purchased the TSB's for the truck.

Thanks,

Wow! 
Who put a T-18 in a '93? What's the TRANS code from the door sticker? Are you using the original slave cylinder, an old external one, or some aftermarket parts? Where did the bellhousing come from?

Steve83,
I am not sure who put anything in the truck. I was the second owner and I am not even sure it's the original motor. As far as the Bell Housing, it was in there when I got the truck.
The slave is brand new from the dealer and the master is a couple of years old and from a chain parts store.

There are 2 styles of hydraulic clutch, and you have to match the master to the slave. I don't know when the dividing line is, but if you cross it, the clutch won't work. You might contact the webmaster at http://www.broncodata.com/ - he just changed from an E4OD to an M5OD and discovered that the hard way. He's more active on http://tellico.off-road.com/ubbthrea...fordbroncolate and his username is "havack". But reread the Haynes instructions for bleeding - he also had a lot of trouble until he followed those instructions, and now he loves the manual trans.
