Clutch Peddle Down

Clutch Peddle Down
My clutch peddle was going soft in the mornings when I would start my truck. Eventually, as I was driving, it would improve. My drive home had no problems. The other day, the peddle went to the floor, and I could not shift out of reverse without turning off the engine. I bled the cluch lines, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? 94 Ranger Splash 4 cyl 5 speed manual.

So, you're telling me that I need to pull the whole transmission and transfer case to get the air out of the slave cylinder? (I sure hope not)

No , just the master cylinder . It is mounted on the firewall in a way that traps air . You can remove it along with the reservoir , and the tube going to the slave on the side of the trans. The connection to the slave has a check valve in it so air won't enter the tube and fluid run out.

I actually talked to a mechanic at a Ford dealship today and he said my slave cylinder was self-bleeding and he told me that I just needed to pump the clutch pedal real fast.
That sounds right, because when my hired help quit on me and the transmission wouldn't go in reverse, I just got really pissed and started pumping it real fast and then I got it to go in reverse ...lol

does anyone have a vid or DIY of how to remove the slave cylinder from the truck? the vid i posted doesn't show how to since he had the parts already free from the truck.
also, are the cylinders the same for all three engine/trans?

(There's probably another special tool you need to buy)
