LIGHT TRUCK:
1993 AEROSTAR, BRONCO, EXPLORER, F-150-350 SERIES, F-47, RANGER
ISSUE:
A "soft" unresponsive clutch pedal may be felt or the driver may be unable to release the clutch. This is caused by air entrapped in the clutch hydraulic
system.
ACTION:
Use the information in this TSB article in addition to the bleed procedure specified in the 1993 Service Manual. This article includes detail as well as
extra service tips for easier hydraulic clutch bleeding.
The clutch hydraulic system for the 1993 model year is new and more difficult to bleed than the previous hydraulic system. Therefore, a different
bleeding procedure is required for these vehicles.
RANGER, EXPLORER, AEROSTAR
The most difficult systems to bleed are on the Rangers, Explorers and Aerostars. Follow the bleed procedure as outlined in the 1993 Service Manual,
Page 08-00-6. This procedure with the addition of the bench bleed process is included in this TSB article.
NOTE:
WHEN INSTALLING DRY CLUTCH CYLINDER OR TUBE SERVICE PARTS, DO THE BENCH BLEED PROCEDURE FIRST.
