Oh where oh where is the clutch slave valve located on my 93 4 cyl. 5 spd Ford Ranger????

its internal, gotta yank out the transmission. be careful of that plastic hydraulic line, they brake easy.

The clutch slave is internal and the tranny has to come out to replace it, but the bleed can be done once everything is back together. To find the bleed valve start at the clutch master cylinder and follow the hydraulic line to the bleeder nipple. Did my friends 93 Ranger. Tried to bleed the slave like you would bleed brakes, but it seemed to introduce more air iinto the system. What worked for us was to crack the bleeder valve open and just let the master cylinder gravity feed into the bleeder keeping the master full of fluid. Once we did this it only took one final stroke of the pedal to clear all the air out. If the clutch master hasn't been run dry this method should work for you.

Well! So much for anything being EASY. Thanks for the info on the clutch slave location sounds like It's possibly to internal for me to replace(shucks). Unless, it's not where I can loose bearings etc. 1st I'll try Davescort97's idea, either way something will have to be done shortly. Thanks

Also, not sure when you replaced the clutch, but nows a great time to do it. When my clutch goes I'm planning on replacing the slave as well.

Best Regards,
Stan

Clutch seems to be fine, I drove it yesterday loaded with landscaping blocks (the mudflaps were dragging the ground) Clutch was fine I'll just bleed the master and keep on keeping on.
