I need to adjust the clutch on my 1995 ford ranger and dont know how
If the fluid level (DOT 3) in your clutch master cylinder dropped low enough you may have introduced air into the hydraulic line. First, you need to find the leak and fix it. If it is a very small leak and the fluid loss was over a long period of time, adding new fluid and pumping the clutch pedal many times, waiting, and doing it again, may solve your problem. You can also bleed the line with the bleed fitting on the side of the slave cylinder. Pumping the clutch usually works. If this resolves the problem, keep an eye on the fluid level. See my update below!
Update: Sometimes, due to the shape of the clutch hydraulic line, between the master cylinder and slave cylinder, air gets trapped in the high point and bleeding it becomes impossible. Here's what I did: I got another master cylinder cap and rubber gasket (junkyard) and drilled a hole in the center of the cap and then cut the tip (Bottom) off the rubber gasket to allow air flow through it. I then installed a male air fitting in the hole of the junkyard cap. I reduced the air pressure regulator on my compressor to 0 psi and bleed the line off. I then hooked the hose from my compressor (using the fitting) to the modified cap. Add Dot3 in the master cylinder, place modified gasket and modified cap on the master cylinder. Adjust the air regulator to 15-20 psi. Now, open the bleed valve on the slave cylinder slowly and allow the air pressure to force the Dot3 through the line as you bleed the line. Be sure to keep and eye on the fluid level in the Master cylinder...DON'T force air in the line. Disconnect the air hose from the cap, refill Master Cylinder, hook hose back up. Repeat! Keep your special tool for next time or your buddy!
