Yes, for adjusting the pedal freeplay. There should be at least a 1/2" of pedal freeplay for the sake of the throw out bearing and clutch if it's too tight. Unless someone replaced the clutch master cylinder without properly adjusting the push rod, it shouldn't be too far off is my guess but you can reach down there and flop it up and down to make sure.

Here is where the bleed valve is, wouldn't be a bad idea to flush it with new DOT 3 brake fluid.

 

Older trucks have an adjustable pushrod, newer don't. You can pull the pawl off the pedal and reposition it, but you're aren't supposed to have to do that ever. If it's not right something else is wrong.

Look for leaking fluid man.

 

ok will look at linkage and bleed out clutch now what about the whining? can anyone help with that?

 

yea, i was talking about the push rod. thats what we thought too about not needing to adjust it, but for the one we got it needed it, before then my friend could barely engage the clutch without hitting the floor.

 

Hold on a sec, there is a special procedure for bleeding on 93' year models. Let me dig up the TSB on how to do it.

 

 

That's for a Ranger.

 

From my understanding, F-150's along with other 1993' year models including Ranger's are affected, but more so Ranger trucks due to their smaller engine compartments.

"The compact vehicles are more difficult to bleed because the downward angle of the master cylinder makes it more difficult for air to escape up into the reservoir. Therefore, if the master cylinder is removed from the vehicle and bled while held in a vertical orientation (a bench bleed) air can escape much more efficiently." -@LLD@T@

Ford doesn't have a track record of designing hydraulic systems so that air doesn't get trapped such as being notorious for power steering pump whine. It isn't a problem in the P/S system other than the noise, a case in point.

 

Yep, Ranger is different. Totally different bleeding procedure.

 

There is no adjustment for pedal free play.
