  Clutch Master Cylinder, Master Cylinder Assembly

• Description:

  This genuine Ford clutch master cylinder generates the hydraulic pressure that disengages the clutch when the driver presses the pedal, converting pedal travel into fluid pressure that is sent through the clutch line to the slave cylinder or concentric release bearing. It fits 1997 through 2001 Ford Explorer and Ford Ranger models equipped with a manual transmission. A failing clutch master cylinder commonly leaks fluid past its internal seals, causing a clutch pedal that sinks to the floor, feels spongy or inconsistent, or will not fully disengage the clutch, which makes gear selection difficult and can cause grinding when shifting. Internal seal wear can also allow air to enter the system, producing a gradual loss of clutch action. This unit mounts to the firewall or pedal bracket and draws fluid from the reservoir; after installation the hydraulic system must be thoroughly bled to remove all air so the clutch releases fully and the pedal feel is firm. Ford catalogs this component within the clutch controls group as the master cylinder assembly. Use the correct Ford-specified hydraulic fluid and confirm there are no leaks at the line fittings before returning the vehicle to service to ensure reliable clutch engagement and smooth shifting.
