Correct your interior is worn because the inside of the brake is where the brake meat is that rubs against the rotor. the master cylinder has nothing to do with the brake interior. you also have a Ranger which Ford no longer makes. If you feel a wobble while you brake, that is chatter and means your rotor is warped. A rotor is warped because it can only withstand so much heat during different braking periods ( rotors are NOT made like they used to be and are a TOTAL rip off. But we need them, so we pay for them. Chatter from rotor is a high speed thing. it's communicating to the driver what the issue is but you have to know what you are feeling to know what to do. DOT 3 is a recommended brake fluid in your master cylinder by the way.

I have a 96 Ford ranger, 4 cylinder manual and have a problem I can't figure out. I can start the truck every time with no problem it isles great and I can sit there and rev it all day no problem but if I go to drive it I can make it about 1/2 mile and then that's it, ill press the gas petal and it won't do any thing but kill the gas (no gas) but soon as I take my foot off the gas it will idle just fine and rev fine but won't go anywhere unless I let it sit for a few mins and it will start all over. I have replaced the IAC, TPS and today the external fuel filter that was clogged but same thing. Once in a while if I push the clutch in it will stay at a rev for a sec. Please help 5 Answers
