Clutch Bleeding
I've only done one and it wasn't a ranger. It's a two person job. Have someone pump the clutch 6 or 7 times and hold the pedal to the floor. The second person opens the bleed screw. The one pumping rides the pedal to the floor and holds it there. The one under the truck closes the bleed screw, and has the one in the cab start pumping again.Continue this until there's fluid coming out of the bleed screw and no more air bubbles.

Clutch Bleeding
I am having the same problem with bleeding my clutch. I have a '93 Ranger xlt w/ 4.0 v6. The reservoir ran dry while I was driving it & I have no clutch pressure. I filled the reservoir & bled the clutch like the manual explains (just like brakes) Fluid came out for about 5 tries then stopped coming out all together. I continued to bleed as normal & still no fluid, air, or anything comes out. If you find an answer, please contact me,,Thanks. Jason skyvan at earthlink.net

Clutch Bleeding
when bleeding your clutch on the 93 or 94 ranger, pump pedel 10 times. hold pedel and open bleed screw. now do not push pedel to the floor. only let pressurized air and fluid out until pedel moves. then tighten bleeder and repeat process until clutch has pressure.
