Joecar Posted Friday at 09:07 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:07 PM Second time this happened where my clutch pedal goes straight to the floor, I looked at the master cylinder reservoir and pushed the pedal and the level doesn’t go down or up. What do I need to fix this Quote Link to comment
NC85ST Posted Saturday at 04:42 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:42 PM Sounds like the master cylinder or slave cylinder is bad? Have looked at the slave cylinder, is it wet? Another possibility is the rubber hose going to the slave cylinder is bad? Very simple system. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted Saturday at 05:43 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:43 PM Quick fix is to pump several times and hold down. Loosen the bleeder on the slave and let out any fluid or air bubbles. Close bleeder. let pedal up and repeat until only clean bubble free fluids comes out. With this the pedal should be working. If not likely the master. If slave is dry then not likely there is a leak down there. If reservoir is full lot likely any leaks. Very possible the master is not right. Quote Link to comment

My master cylinder is fairly new and it’s full. I’ll have try to bleed it too, I replaced that a couple months ago Quote Link to comment

Joecar Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM Found my issue. It was the linkage that came apart that connects the clutch pedal, before that I tried bleeding the clutch and now it’s empty, whoops. What DOT is recommended to be used in these trucks?
