2008 Ranger clutch always needs bleeding?

My son has a 2008 Ranger 4.0 4wd 5 speed.
Every month or so we need to bleed the clutch as the transmission becomes very difficult to shift. It does not lose fluid, but seems to be holding air. And it's not easy to bleed this setup.
Slave going bad?
I guess the transmission will need to come out then.
