my 94 ford ranger after replacing the fly wheel which was missing three teeth, now has no clutch pressure, we've bled an entire bottle of fluid through it and done exactly what it says to do in the manuel for bleeding clutch system and still no pressure. Could there still be air in line or could it be somthing else? Clutch was working befor the flywheel was changed, and everything got put back in the same way it came out.[/b]

did anybody push the pedal(clutch) while the flywheel was out. If they did they blew up the slave cylinder and you would not be able to get pedal pressure no matter how much you bleed the cylinder out. I know this from person experience as I blew one up myself and my sister blew up the other one( gotta love kids)

Suggested Repair

If the clutch pedal was pressed while the flywheel was removed, the slave cylinder was likely damaged and will not build pressure no matter how much the system is bled. Inspect and replace the slave cylinder, then bleed the clutch hydraulic system again.

Conversation Summary

A 1994 Ford Ranger lost clutch pedal pressure after a flywheel replacement, even though the clutch worked before and the system was bled per the manual. The expert said pressing the clutch pedal with the flywheel out can destroy the slave cylinder, which would prevent pressure from returning despite bleeding.
