New Clutch in '98 ranger 4x4 too low.

130,000, and just and had tranny problems, I had the shop replace the clutch too. Shop had a hard time bleeding the chutch, then they said "We had to stand it on the rear bumper to get the air out of the slave cyl. because it sits at a wierd angle making it hard to bleed". I drive it home and it felt like the pedal was mushy, and it released about an inch from the floor., They had my truck about 2 weeks so I wasn't going to send it back to bleed the clutch so I got out the trusty "Chitlens" manual, I bled the clutch (took about an hour) but it's better , but it still seems a bit low releasing.I moved my seat up a notch to compensate for the time being. Question, has anyone else had problems bleeding the clutch in their Ranger 3.0 5-Speed?, if so what did you do to fix it? Is there a better way to bleed, other than the Cliltons way? (press pedal to floor, open bleeder, close bleeder, release clutch fast, repeat till air is out) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
