Icon4 Clutch Issues pleas help!

My 1994 ford Ranger v6 3.0L 5 speed has been having clutch issues, for a while it would be hard to shift into gear and the clutch would only start to engage when the pedal is half way to the floor. I would have the clutch fully depressed an i would have to slam it into gear to shift, it would not shift.

I recently bleed the clutch lines and the clutch worked perfectly, anf within 24 hours i went to drive it again and had absolutly no clutch. i would shut it off and shift into either first or reverse and would turn it back on and it would start to and drive as if the clutch was not engaged and i still had the clutch to the floor.

Any Ideas? it would be great

Time for a new slave cylinder. Since you have to pull the transmission to change it , might as well swap in a new clutch disc and pilot bearing.
With that old of a truck , you may also be looking at a new clutch master cylinder .
