  Clutch Master Cylinder, Master Cylinder Assembly

• Description:

  This is a Genuine Ford clutch master cylinder assembly, part number 7L5Z-7A543-B, for 2006-2011 Ford Ranger pickups equipped with the 3.0L Vulcan V6 or 4.0L SOHC V6 and a manual transmission. The clutch master cylinder is the hydraulic heart of the clutch actuation system: when you press the clutch pedal it converts that pedal effort into hydraulic pressure, sending fluid through the line to the slave cylinder, which disengages the clutch so you can shift gears. Over time the internal seals wear and the bore scores, allowing fluid to bypass or leak past the piston. Drivers experiencing a clutch pedal that sinks to the floor, feels spongy or inconsistent, will not fully disengage the clutch, grinds during shifts, or shows fluid loss around the firewall pushrod are the typical buyers for this part. Ford catalog name is Master Cylinder, cataloged in the clutch group; this assembly supersedes the earlier 7L5Z-7A543-A. Ford production notes split this application around the 9/19/08 build date, so confirm your build date and VIN before installing. Because the clutch hydraulic system uses the same type of fluid as the brakes, the new cylinder must be bench-bled and the full system thoroughly bled of air after installation to restore a firm pedal and full clutch release. Always inspect the reservoir, hydraulic line, and slave cylinder condition when replacing this component, and use the correct Ford-specified hydraulic fluid. As a Genuine Ford original-equipment part, it matches the factory bore size, pushrod geometry, and mounting so it bolts directly to the pedal support without modification.
