Clutch issue...HELP
OK Ranger guys and gals.......need help.
KEN00 over in the BII area (same one here too) told me to try my clutch problem here.
So here it is cut and pasted.......pasted...........hum, weird word!
I have a 86 BII with v-6.
Today at lunch the clutch pedal became very very stiff and…….then, the worst of situations. As if it is not disengaging
Clutch slippage, …ug….is it the pressure plate…..or?. Could it be anything else that is easy to fix....
I tried to look under then darn thing and could not even see a throw out arm.

One remote possibility, short of a major(costly) clutch job, is that the slave/release bearing assy. may be "stuck" on the collar it slides on. You still have to drop the tranny to cure this problem.
So, the question is; If you have to drop the tranny, clean up & lube the collar, put the tranny back in then bleed the system, would you rather just do the complete clutch job or save a few bucks and get it back on the road quickly?

Is there an inspection cover, or is there a way to bleed the system?
How much of a complete clutch job, I know it is only an estimate.

A little reading:

The bleed screw should be accessable on the left side of the bellhousing through an opening. M5OD trannys have a plate that is removable to inspect the slave/release assy. movement. Yours may be different?
Resurface the flywheel, change the pilot bearing,clutch/pressure plate assy., slave/release assy., and master cylinder is the proper way to do it. Also service the collar as needed.
Short of that, what's going to jump up and bite you in the assume? The one thing you didn't do! Murphy's Law 101.
