Hydraulic Clutch Pedal for F-Series and Bronco with 4.9L and 5.0L Engines (T-18 Transmission)
1. With the clutch pedal fully depressed to the floor, measure the external slave cylinder push rod travel.
2. The push rod should extend 17mm (0.67 inch) minimum. Do not replace the clutch system if the measurement exceeds this distance.
3. If release bearing travel does not meet the travel requirements check the reservoir fluid level.
NOTE: The slave cylinder must be in place when checking the fluid level. The proper level is indicated by a step on the reservoir.
4. Fill to the specified level with Ford Heavy Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or -BA (ESA-M6C25-A) or equivalent DOT 3 fluid. Do not overfill. The upper portion of the reservoir must accept fluid that is displaced from the slave cylinder as the clutch wears.
CAUTION: Carefully clean the top and sides of reservoir before opening to prevent contamination of the system with dirt, water and other foreign material. Remove reservoir diaphragm when checking or adding fluid. Carefully replace diaphragm, cover gasket and cover after filling.
5. If the reservoir requires fluid, check hydraulic system components for leakage.
6. Remove rubber boots from cylinder and check for leakage past the pistons. A slight wetting of surfaces is acceptable. If excessive leakage is evident, replace leaking component.
