Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just changed my clutch master

that my slave cylinder is bad?

Yes if master cylinder is good and you bleed clutch . A failed slave cylinder may very well be the problem. It will keep the clutch pedal from coming up as well

I inherited a 1993 Ford Ranger with a bad Slave Cylinder. After much research, I found it has to be changed frequently. If you can do the mechanics on it, that will save a lot in labor costs. OR, You might want to rethink keeping the truck and get a different one. Good Luck!

    Any idea how long the labor takes on a slave cylinder for a 07 Ford Ranger? Got a 4.0 v6 engine (if that matters). Haven’t bought it yet. But want to adjust price cause I know it needs it.
