Hydrolic Clutch
I have a 2001 Ford Ranger. I removed the transmission for repairs and replaced it. It has a five speed transmission and hydrolic clutch. Now I can't get the clutch to disengage.
I've bled it many times. I'm not getting any air now when I bleed it, although I did at first. Is there anything, other than air in the system that could cause this? Thanks, Popspipe

Yes, any number of things could cause it. Any parts could be bad; any of them could be worn or damaged; the slave could be installed wrong; the clutch could be installed wrong; the bellhousing could be loose on the block; the pedal bushings could be worn;...

Thanks. The problem was still air in the system. I wasn't bleeding it properly. I had to bleed it in the following manner:
Put a boxed end wrench on the bleeder valve.
Slip a length of small clear hose on the bleeder valve.
Let the other end of the hose hang to the bottom of a clear container. I used a pint jar.
Fill reservoir to top and keep a fluid level in it throughout the procedure.
Open bleeder valve and drain until you stop getting air then close it.
The next steps will need to be repeated until all the air is out.
1.SLOWLY press the pedal to the floor.
2.Open bleeder valve and keep it open until fluid and air stops coming out.
3.Release pedal.
4.Wait 2 seconds and repeat 1 thru 4.
If you stop getting air out AND stop getting more pedal then let it sit awhile and bleed again. Popspipe
