Bleeding the clutch?
Someone please tell me where's the bleeder valve for the clutch pedal?
My previous 94 Ranger 2.3l used to be inside the clutch housing in the access hole.
This newer truck 2000 v6 is hard to find , I did find a valve on the top left side of the clutch housing, but I doubt
if it's the right one, I opened it one full turn and not a single drop of fluid is coming out.
This valve nipple looks like a grease fitting with a thick rubber washer and it has a dust cap?

Definetly the best thing I have saved on my computer:
BE SURE TO KEEP THE RESERVOIR FULL!
When I bled my clutch, I operated the bleeder valve, my mom operated the clutch pedal, and my dad kept an eye on the reservoir. My dad watched as all the air came out through the reservoir. So try to get a third person to help if you can.
To bleed the clutch:
-With the bleeder valve closed, depress the clutch pedal to the floor.
-Slip your foot off the pedal and let it fly back to the top (DON'T be gentle).
-Repeat several times (5 is a good number)
-Depress the pedal to the floor, hold it there, and have a helper open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder.
-Allow the fluid to run out.
-When the fluid stops flowing from the valve, shut the valve and release the pedal. Repeat as needed.
-Be sure to keep the reservoir full, a third person to watch the reservoir is a very good asset to have.
