SOURCE: 1985 Ford Ranger clutch needs to be replaced
i could type you the directions step by step but i think it would take all night, if i where you , i just go to the local auto parts store and pick up a repair manual, they are real cheap
SOURCE: brake fluid in brand new 1989 ford ranger clutch slave
no it doesn't come filled basically you bleed it like a brake system. Fill the master cylinder and pump the clutch, there is a bleeder on the slave cylinder
SOURCE: What fluids do we put underneath the truck clutch
you will need BRAKE FLUID, you do not catch it and put it back in. fill up the clutch fluid.(top, between the brake cylinder and the fender) now open up the bleeder at the slave cylider (bottom) and let it bubble out until all the air is out, now tighten it (snug) now have someone pump the pedal several times and hold the the pedal down, now open the bleeder, real slow, and observe the fluid that comes out, if its foamy or air bubbles ,keep letting it bleed until it stops, now tighten the bleeder and pump the pedal a few more times and hold it down, and open it again, keep doing this unitl clean fluid comes out without any air, the clutch system should work ok now.

i just did one of these t the shop and they are very hard to do. system is difficult to work on and the slave cyinder is inside the transmission so i would tread carefully on this one if you are ot sure of what you are doing.
now if you are trying to flush the fluid the best way is to keep the cap off the master cylinder and keep the level up because if you let it run dry it will get air bound and when you open the bleeder it will come out very quickly. now the bleeder is on the drivers side of the transmission right above the hydraulic line going into the slave cylinder. have someone up top to keep adding fluid and someone under the truck to open and close the bleeder. when you have the bleeder open let the fluid run out until it looks clear like the new fluid you are putting in! tighten bleeder but not over tight and thats about it.
the bleeder screw is a 11mm and that's all you will need for tools!
if your pedal is soft when you try to use the clutch after doing this it is recommended by the manufacture when preforming a bleed of the system to pump pedal several times until it comes back up and to keep doing this until it is back up.
good luck
