bleed the system is about all you can do. Maybe check see if there mechanical linkage on the clutch rod, dont know about your system. I know my 89 F250 had an external slave so that may be a problem area to check if ya do.

Make sure your hydraulic clutch reservoir is full of fluid. Check for leaks around the cylinder near the clutch pedal. There is another cylinder inside the transmission bell housing that could leak. Check for clutch fluid leaking from the bell housing at the bottom.

From the autozone site, the truck has an external slave cylinder, should be on the left side of the transmission. If its never been changed this may be the time to do it. also check the master cylinder it may be bleeding off and not holding pressure. as noted above check for wet carpeting/mats inside to see if leaking. Check the slave for visible leaks. More than likely you will need both particularly if you only replace one, the other normally follows soon after.

According to TRS you have a Mitsubishi FM145 transmission which has an internal slave cylinder. That sounds right as my '88 has the later FM146 with internal slave.
This problem has been a bother to me as there's not much pedal range between engaged and disengaged. My other Ranger has the M5OD which begins engaging more in the middle of pedal travel so seems to provide a much smoother transition.
