how to bleed a clutch on a f150 1993 4.9 motor 5 speed

Hello, there are 2 different designs. You either have an external slave cylinder at the trans OR you have a slave cylinder inside the front of the trans. If you follow the clutch hydraulic line from master down to trans, it will either go directly in side of trans OR to an external slave cylinder. I need to know what you have. LMk thanks
slave cyclinderis inside
Thanks. What has to happen on this style is you have to remove the line from where it connects on side of trans. you need a special release tool to do this. You can ask most any parts store for the trans line quick connect release tool. Once line is unhooked, you then have to follow the procedue below by pushing in on the check ball at the end of the line you unhooked. There is no other way to bleed the system. You may? be able to use a couple small screwdriver to try and get that white sleeve to slide to unlock line but.. dont mess up the sleave and then get a tool if this does not work
Hello, I was helping you on this post and now you are asking about bleeding the master? you started another post. Bleeding the master is the same as bleeding the slave or system. I sent this info to you. Bleeding is usually not the problem if you have a clutch problem. If air got in. a part is bad. Aitr cant get in al by itself. LMk thanks
what the clutch would not go down. the guy i bought it from said it happened to him so he changed the clutch master cyclinder and that fixed it.so when it happened to me i ask the expert and was told a spring on the pressure plate fell off but he said to change the cyclinder, i did now the peddal goes to the floor and doesn't come back up you can fell the clutch is not engaging. he told me i should have bench bleed it. i was wondering how to do it
So what have you changed? the master cylinder, slave cylinder? both? are you now asking how to bleed the master since it is new?
i changed th clutch master cyclinder
On this truck, you do not bench bleed the master like other vehicles. You still have to follow the exact same bleeding info iIsent before. You have the master installed, fill with fluid. unhook line from side of trans, push the ball in on end of line per directions below. This is how you bleed the master
