Anyone hear windage during a shift?

Re: 2000 Ranger 2.5 four cylinder RUNNING ROUGH need help! :(
I had a bad EGR valve, and it caused a rough idle in my truck. I also had a rotted EGR tube. Check the vacuum lines to the EGR and the EGR pipe that runs from the exhaust manifold.

ackyle12: tell us more about this vacuum line of which you speak.

I had issues with my clutch as well. I was bleeding it and ran it dry by accident. Because of the steep angle on the master, I've found that the only way to get the air out is to disconnect at the...

Re: 2004 FX4 4.0 V6, 85k
Yeah, I love the truck. I just don't think I can afford to keep it. Unless my employment issues suddenly take a turn for the better, I need to get rid of it by September.

Re: Bleeding clutch SNAFU
How did you pry the pushrod out of the master? Does it twist to lock in, or is there an e-clip or something that releases it? I don't want to break anything, and it's hard to see what's holding it...

I'm not really sure how you can bleed the master while it's installed. How do you remove the pushrod?
