Clutch problems
I have a 2000 3.0 2wd. Im having problems with it going into gear. My Dad and I did the clutch kit and slave cylinder 3 years ago before he died. I let the fluid resivior go dry a couple of months ago and filled it up. I have a few inches of play in the petal before I have clutch. Any ideas like can there be air in the hydrolic system? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Yep, air
If the reservoir ran dry you most likely have air in the system. You will need to bleed the system, same as brake bleeding, have someone get behind the wheel and get what pedal they can while you open the bleeder. Make sure they don't let up on the pedal until you close the bleeder. That should get you going, if not check back in here and we will help.

This topic has managed my life for the last three weeks as I am also having issues with my clutch.
After watching the three videos I am going to post for you I am certain that it is the ONLY way to properly diagnose and bleed your clutch system.
Pay special attention to the first video. In the first 5 minutes it will show you how to diagnose a clutch issue. This is key.
In the second video as well as the first it will show your how to properly bench bleed your system.
In the third video it will demonstrate how to disingage the hydraulic system.

Quick tip...if you bleed the master, and end up having to replace the slave again...next time you bleed the slave after initial install...all I did when I did the slave on my ranger was fill up the reservoir, open the bleeder a few turns, gravity bleed it for 10 seconds. Then I closed the bleeder screw and just drove it. Never had to do any pumping bleeding or anything.
