Bleed Hydraulic Clutch
Help... Have 1983 Ranger 2WD 6cyl 2.8. Replaced Master Cyl. & Slave Cyl. Filled with Fluid and can't get the thing to bleed. Is there a special procedure to Bleed the clutch. I have pumped the Master, but it seems to introduce air into the line. I can Bleed brake lines like a champ but this Clutch line is something I haven't done before........Everything except the line between is brand new...Please Help

Here's something I've done on an F150 and a jeep wrangler. I would just crack the bleeder open and let the fluid run out for awhile keeping the reservoir full. Might have to do it a few times. I know that pumping the pedal does make more air in the system. If you have a helper, just have them press the pedal down once but don't pump it. Then open the bleeder. But the first method always worked for me.

Leave the cap off the Clutch master cyl when you open the bleed screw & it should bleed just by gravity . Keep an eye on the fluid level . Leaving the cap on prevents outside air pressure from letting the fluid drain .

seems to just pour straight through still leaving air in the line....should I try closing it alittle and constricting the flow or just keep letting it drain until it fills. all is, is a small hole beneath the allen bleeder screw. Loosen the screw and it comes out the small hole

Bleed Hydraulic Clutch
The clutch on my 2000 ranger 3.0L 15,000 miles gained about 2 in of free play. So I decided to bleed it. I got many bubbles and about a 1/2 teaspoon of a white grease like substance out of the system. My clutch is now acting more like it used to.
