93 won't disengage quickly

[gergo]

Hello,
My 93 Explorer 5 speed when stopped will not disengage completely to where it will shift into 1st or reverse until the clutch has been depressed for at least 10 seconds. The clutch was replaced less than 10000 miles ago and has never been "right"... Any ideas?

Usually the problem is the clutch slave cylinder. If the slave cylinder wasn't replaced at the same time as the clutch, it's even more likely that's the problem. It's almost always a good idea to replace the slave cylinder while the tranny is out anyway. Even with replacement, the slave cylinders in the M5OD seem to get worse after awhile.

You could try bleeding the cylinder (theres a valve on the drivers side of the tranny, and the fluid reservoir is under the hood all the way back on the drivers side) and topping it off to see if it helps any, too.
