i have replaced both the master cyilinder and the slave for the clutch and every now and then it will lock up. it will not let the truck go into gear. i no it is pulling in air or something i just wanted to see if anybody else has had the same problem......

sounds to me like there is either air in the line, or the clutch is bad. i would bleed the lines again to be sure all the air is out. clutches are pretty cheap for these trucks... they are like 60 bucks from autozone.

I hope i understood all that correctly....
if the clutch was bad it wouldn't necessarily cause it to slip out of gear. it would make it difficult to get into gear and shift. slipping out of gear would be a sign that the synchros are going bad in the trans. my ranger had a very similar problem when the clutch was going in it. i could get it into gear but it slowly got worse and worse. it was easier to shift while moving but coming to a dead stop i really had to add some persuasion to get it into gear. you can try the clutch test if you would like. get in the truck put it in first rev it, skip 2nd and go to 3rd and floor it. it puts a load on the clutch. if its bad you'll hear the motor rev up slightly and slowly come back down as the clutch starts to grab. my ranger passed it fine even with a bad clutch but i figured it was because the truck barley makes enough horsepower to move itself let alone slip the clutch. everything was all better after it was replaced. Toyota clutches are pretty cheap and simple to replace. if you've never done it before it would probably take a day maybe less if you have help.

ok thanks i am going to buy the clutch today and put it in this weekend is it easier to repacle the clutch with the tranny cossmember out i still have the stock one and i made a new one...

it can be done while the stock crossmember is in place. if you really want to take it out i suppose you can. if the truck isnt bagged, i would just leave it for now and remove it when you bag the truck. you'll need an engine hoist to get the trans out.
the first thing you want to do is disconnect the battery and remove the fan and fan clutch assembly from the water pump. drain the oil out of the tranny (it can be messy if you dont, take my word for it, its worth spending the 15 bucks on gear oil). while thats draining, remove the boot and stick shift from inside the cab. after the shifting assembly is out, disconnect the driveline, remove the starter, unbolt the slave cylinder from the tranny (don't disconnect it, just push it off to the side) remove the tranny mount from the trans (4 bolts..12mm. on the trans and 4 10mm bolts on the crossmember i think). loosen but dont remove the bell housing bolts you can get to... there are two on the top that are a pain to get to at this point. hook up the engine hoist and crank it up a little bit to support the weight. remove the two bolts on each motor mount and crank up the motor just a little and pull to motor forward. its only gotta move a few inches so you can get to the two bolts on the top of the bell housing. once all the bolts are removed, try to pry the trans away from the motor... it might take a little persuasion (big screwdriver) its a lot easier to have another person there to help you. once its out, you'll have to kinda roll it on its side and just take it out. make sure to use the allignment tool that comes with the clutch. i would replace the throw out bearing as well since its all apart. there is another bearing inside the motor but im not sure how to get it out...i had it replaced when the motor was built. hope this helps!
