Clutch adjustment ???
I hate to ask a lot of dumb questions, but here I go again. The clutch in my 94 Ranger is making a slight slipping or low growling noise as I take off on steep inclines. I can't tell if the clutch is starting to slip, or if the noise may be coming from the rear-end. My question is, Is there a way to tighten or adjust the clutch on my little truck? I'm no mechanic by any means, so whatever I have done will be performed by a qualified Ford mechanic. I know that it may cost a little more to take it to a dealership, but I want the work to be done right, hopefully the first time. What should I tell them to check, without them trying to sell me something that I don't necessarily need?Also, if I need a new clutch, how much will that cost me? I guess I need to start pricing some, to see what I can afford to do at this time. I just bought my little truck a few weeks ago, and I really like it a lot. Hopefully, I won't have too much expense in getting it into top shape. If the Lord is willing, I'm going to get me a new Ranger in a few years. My 94 model drives like a new one. I am so thrilled that I found this site,because of all the help that I've received from the educated guys on this site. Keep up the Great Work guys, and thanks a lot!Any info. will help. Be Cool.

check your clutch fluid reservoir and see if you have to add if low.... use DOT 3heavy duty brake fluid......the clutch is self adjust and no need to tighten anything.....from a complete stop put it in first gear and see if you can gain all the speed to second gear without loss of power and so fourth...if you cant get no road speed and takes for ever to get second then you may need a clutch job... hope this will help some
