i had my slave cylinder replaced today and after i picked it up from the shop it shifted very smooth, now it is giving me trouble going into gear, and the clutch pedal feels stiff and has a little less travel, any idea why?

 

also the clutch pedal makes a deep squeak but it did it even when it shifted smooth

 

I am not 100% on this but on the bigger trucks there is an adjustment on the clutch pedal. Where the master cylinder clips on the armature. You can unbolt the armature and move it as its keyed. What seems to be happening is the clutch isnt fully disengaging and its making it tough to go into gear

I could be wrong about this armature but all my fords have them

 

so is it just something you have to adjust or replace

 

adjust. you can move it forward so that it pushes the plunger in farther

 

There is no adjustment on the Ranger clutch system.
Sounds more like the clutch needs to be re-bled.

 

Ya may be or replace the clutch plate...might this can solve your problem.

 

did you check your fluid level, after yu drove it a little the level might of gone down a little, or leaked out of the bleed screw if they didn't tighten it enough,

 

bled it and it works fine

 

thats good,
