Also, depending on the kit you buy, a new slave cylinder is often recommended. If you need help choosing the right kit (and are wondering whether or not to replace your flywheel), give us a call. We've got quite a few kits for the Ranger. Problem: Usually, these are indications of a clutch disc that needs replacement.įix: Buy a new clutch.
Issue: The clutch is slipping or smoking. If it is on a system that has been in use for some time, you will need to change the clutch hydraulics as you are probably getting brake fluid leaking past the seals due to corrosion.
2013 explorer compressor 3.5 clutch fail free#
Adjustments to the master cylinder push rod may be necessary to provide the proper clutch pedal free play. Problem: More times than not, you still have air in the clutch line and need to further bleed the system.įix: If a new installation: check pedal height and adjust to factory specifications. Issue: You have to push the clutch to the floor to shift gears. If none of these helped, the slave cylinder, master cylinder, or both likely need to be replaced. Even the smallest amount of air in the lines can prevent proper operation. Then, bleed the clutch system to get any air out. If discovered, identify and replace the bad lines or seals. Next, check for leaks along the hydraulic lines. If low, top off the system and test the clutch pedal. Basically, the hydraulics are not working, so the system will not work.įix: The first, and easiest, task is to check the fluid level. When it is not possible to flush the parts, you may need to replace those parts.Problem: There’s a problem with the hydraulic system of your Ranger. If there is sludge or debris, the hoses, evaporator, and condenser should be flushed to get rid of the contaminants. A compressor may also fail if there is sludge or debris in the air conditioning system. If the seals no longer hold, you will need a new compressor, as the seals cannot be replaced. The compressor may start leaking refrigerant and/or the AC oil. It is also common for the seals in the AC compressor to go bad. Sometimes replacing the entire compressor with a remanufactured one can be cheaper than replacing an individual clutch or bearings. If the bearing or clutch have failed, it is recommended that the compressor be replaced. The clutch can burn or the bearing can fail. The clutch is driven by a drive/serpentine belt, which engages the compressor when you switch on the AC. Consequently, it is a requirement to replace the orifice tube and the receiver dryer when replacing the compressor since some of the debris may have ended up there.įor an AC compressor to work, it needs a clutch, bearing, and an electrical connector. It is common for the internal parts of the compressor to come apart and disperse metallic debris throughout the system. These internal parts can fail, causing the AC compressor to stop working. The AC compressor has several moving parts (including pistons and valves). The compressor, the “heart” of the car’s air conditioning system works like a pump taking refrigerant, (R-12 in older cars, R-134a in 1995 and newer cars) and pressurizing it, passing it along to the evaporator. Service type Car AC Compressor ReplacementĪn AC system has many components: compressor, condenser, receiver dryer, evaporator, and hoses.
