Hey everyone, first post here. I've owned and worked on an old jeep grand cherokee for the past few years. But recently i was given and old 2wd 93 Ranger with the manual transmission and 3.0 engine. The truck has been parked and only started off and on over the past several years. The dash only shows 66k miles, but I'm not sure if it clocks miles correctly or not. There were a few known problems with it which I've already fixed or am in the process of fixing.
The goal is to make this truck a good daily driver, I don't plan to modify it beyond a few comforts. But I do want to make it as reliable as I can. So far I have changed all of the fluids including the rear axle and transmission. I researched and looked in the manual for the transmission and it called for mercon even though it's a standard transmission. So I went ahead and used mercon V (If anyone knows if that is correct or not let me know and I'll change it).
My main question that i have has to do with the clutch. I've never owned a vehicle with a standard transmission before, with that being the case I haven't ever had to mess with a clutch or anything of the sort. I've heard that you need to bleed the clutch, and I've researched it and have the basic idea of how to do it. However I cannot locate a bleeding valve of any sort on my truck. Am i blind or what?
Thanks in advance. Any advice welcome. I'll try posting a picture but I'm not sure of it will let me
