Clutch Help
1992 F150 Custom, 300 CBI, 5 Speed, 115,000
about a year ago my transmission went out so I had a shop put in a new one, not cheap (1500) and then I had it set for like a 3/4 of year, and when I started driving it the clutch would push down real easy, and now the clutch does not work at all. Any ideas about what it is and what the pricing would be to replace it both to have a shop do it and to do it my self and if I do it my self how hard would it be?
or is it worth replacing it or just part out the truck since i've had to have or need to :
harness completely rewired (done)
transmission (done)
clutch out (needs fixed)
starter (needs replaced)
turn signal lights does not appear on dash sometimes believe turn signal switch in column (needs replaced)
passenger side windshield wiper something is clicking (can deal with until it is shot)

As far as level of difficulty goes, the clutch isn't that bad. Would be worth it to get a manual. While it's out you'll have easy access to the starter.
As far as whether it's worth it or not, you're asking the wrong crowd. I think most of us here are pretty biased toward a yes answer on that one. But, you asked. So, yes, it's worth fixing.

We'd do it

If the slave cylinder is bad then you will have to remove the transmission to replace it. Check around for clutch (brake) fluid. If it's the clutch master cylinder then fluid can leak inside the cab, so check under the dash for fluid where the pushrod passes through the firewall, as well as under the hood.

it could also be the that the shift fork came off the release bearing, but check the slave cylinder and master cylinder and all the lines for leaks first. also check the the rubber bladder under neath the fill cap on the master cylinder.
