Hey guys, I was driving my truck earlier with no problems. My clutch pedal has always been a little sticky. Tonight I was driving home and now the clutch wont engage, so i cant go into gear. Not sure what is wrong. any ideas?

Could this be why im not going into gear?

That's could be why it's a little sticky, but I don't see why it wouldn't engage without that. How is the push rod itself? Mine crapped out on me a few months ago and I had to get a new master cylinder just for the pushrod. Old one was plastic and new one was cast.

that is a clutch push rod BUSHING.
and yes that can cause a sticking pedal and not let the clutch fully engage if the clutch is worn.

here is one you can buy with out buying the whole master.

Problem was that there is air in the line. Bled out the air. It now shifts, but it's not as easy as before. I think I may need to bleed more

just pump the pedal it is self bleeding....

Those bushings are in the Help section and are 8.00.

I blew 2 in one day in less than 10 miles before I fixed it for good with a snap washer....

I will try pumping the clutch again. I'm guessing the truck should be on. How many times would you think I have to pump it? I've read you should do it a whole bunch of times

dr_bowtie

truck dont need to be running. if the master is good.... about 10-20 rapid times.

It is working well now. Thank you. I had to bleed a little more, then I pumped it a bunch

I've found it self bleeds easier without the cap on....
