Since I don't have a 5 speed Explorer I'm just shooting in the dark on this one for you... but I have done some work on other hydraulic clutches.... when you are bleeding the clutch, you really need two people. One person sits in the cab and pumps up the clutch, then holding it to the floor, you crack the bleeder under the hood. Do this a few times and the clutch should firm up. If not, you have other problems.... i.e. a lot of air trapped in the lines.

remove the master cyl from the firewall, hold it upside down and have someone crack the bleeder screw loose. Then push the master cyl rod by hand all the way down, tighten bleeder screw, let loose of the master cyl rod, and repeat. All in all it sucks, the master cyl sets uphill if you get what I mean and traps air. It's not easy to get the air out.
