I was just talking about how reliable my ride has been (a '93 f150 with the straight 6) and as I'm leaving work today the clutch suddenly goes to the floor and there is no pressure. I manage to get home floating gears and not getting caught at a stop light. So i get home and start troubleshooting, in 5 degree F weather (yay). I don't see anything leaking...the hydraulic line seems ok and is still connected properly...finally check the fluid, seems a little low so i top it off and get my wife out to bleed the clutch hoping some air got in the lines (cause if it's the slave cylinder that means removing the tranny)...somehow i don't have a wrench small enough for the bleeder valve. So i decide to take it to my dad's since he has more tools and if it is the slave cylinder i will be doing the work there. So i float gears over to my parents with no heat...because for some reason the blower won't go on when i bump start the truck. All this while getting bitched at by the wife for buying a "piece of shit" .
So yea it's been a fun night

My clutch fluid revisior cap on my 93 Ranger is no longer circular. Its more of an egg shape now. I have to refill clutch fluid every couple days because with movement fluid just comes out the top. Whenever I got to refill it the cap is always soaked regardless of fluid level. Ive been putting off getting a new cap because I revolt at the thought of buying a part from a dealer. But I think I may go this week for a new cap. Having no clutch every once in a while aint fun.

You can't find one in a junkyard? Can't be that hard to find a Ford with a cap on the master can it?

I could probably find one, But the question is: can I find one that isnt warped? Its a common issue. I may be going to a pick and pull tomorrow, so I'll see what I can dig up. But if yours leaked completely out, you're gonna have to bleed the system and that is gonna be annoying.

it still had fluid in it...just looked like it was low enough that some sloshing around may have let some air in...I'll check the cap more closely but i don't think it looked warped.
