Question Will not disengage quickly

Hello,
My 93 Explorer 5 speed when stopped will not disengage completely to where it will shift into 1st or reverse until the clutch has been depressed for at least 10 seconds. The clutch was replaced less than 10000 miles ago and has never been "right"... Any ideas?

Almost sounds like the clutch either has air in it or was at least initially low on fluid.

I suggest bleeding the system and installing new fluid at the same time. This will give you back a nice full pedal...

Thanks for the reply -

The slave and master were bled using the procedure of removing the master and inverting it while bleeding. This did improve the amount of engagement - disengaged higher off the floor. But this did not really help the problem of it not allowing the transmission to be shifted to 1st or reverse immediately after you have come to a complete stop - you still have to wait? If you don't want to wait 10 to 15 seconds to shift to 1st you must shift into 1st while still moving and hold in the clutch while stopped... This is very irritating and hard on the back and throwout bearing...
