Clutch problem when hot

Be aware of the exhaust bolts from hell.....you have to remove the y pipe and it can be a HUGE PITA!
My 01 I wound up breaking the studs, took about 3hrs to torch them out.
Got smart on the 04 and heated the nuts first, had no problems.
Did a 93 a week ago and it was a NIGHTMARE! Nothing was getting the nuts/studs out, so I wound up breaking them. Had to torch/plasma a new hole in the manifold to get bolts in. Not a fun job....

The same symptons for my 97 ford ranger xlt extracab 2WD
Hi pcollins , I was follow the answers in the post, and I would like to know if you fix the problem. As the title says i have the same problem with my truck. 15 min truck cold working well , after that the problem with the shift begin. I've have already changed the clutch kit including slave cylynder. After one month the problem begin again , then I replace the Master cylynder , ther was not any improvement . when I bleed the system there was many air on it. I have to mention that the original tranny was replaced for a second hand one , 6 months before. I would like to known where is the problem , and if is related with the second hand tranny?
Thanks in advance

I did a quick search for this but no results, so i'll ask here. Its a 97 ford ranger XLT w/M5OD tranny. 4x4
Basically, we replaced the slave last year and throwout bearing. At one point, the system was fully bled with air (yea, we were a bit stupid at that time). My problem is, when the truck is cold (first 15-20 mins of driving) it shifts fine, and the clutch spins down fine. once it gets hot, after a longer drive, or if i'm shifting alot, it won't fully disengage. and this is only when its hot.
could this be a master/slave problem? i have bled the living **** out of the system, so i don't see how there is air. i even fought getting the master out and in for 4 hours to bench bleed it (something i'll let the dealer replace if i have to). at the moment i just bought a full clutch kit, comes with plate, clutch disc, pilot, throwout bearing, and a slave cylinder. before i tear this all apart, is there anything that could be an issue? i really don't see how the slave could be bad, its only a year old. is it worth mentioning that the clutch pretty much engages right off the floor? i'm stumped with this one....thanks for any help!!!
on a side note, this is the second ranger forum i'm on, and i hope to be as active on this one as the other. I'll never own another ranger (not big enough) but i do like the one i have now, as its all i can afford.

Anyone else bite the bullet and buy an oem slave? I got about 40,000 out of the one from my ebay kit before I was bleeding it everyday, eventually it crapped out altogether (That was fun getting home). I figured I had the best luck w/ the stock slave, so I replaced the master and the slave w/ oem, still going strong 6 months later and Ive yet to bleed it so far. Might save money short term w/ a cheap kit, but do you want to drop the trans every year? I sure as hell dont.
