'96 Ford F-150 2WD. My clutch went out on me today and was wondering if anyone had a write up on a how-to. I got a quote for $800 and can't afford that so I need to replace it myself. Thanks in advanced!

 

Is it the clutch itself or the clutch slave cylinder? Does you're pedal go straight to the floor and won't come up or does it release normally and the truck wont move in either direction?

 

Had a mechanic look at it and he said all the fluid was in terrible condition, the clutch felt spongy. My problem is that it is really hard to put into gear. Multiple times I have to turn the truck off, put it into gear, the crank it back up.

 

That's not a clutch problem, it's a hydraulics problem.

 

try replacing the fluid... simple to do..

Open the bleeder and let it all run out. pour in new when its empty to flush it out...

then close bleeder and fill... without the rubber boot in the cap put on the lid and pump up the pedal.... see if that fixes it... if not new cylinder time and they are cheap... 35.00

 

That would be a life saver! How much fluid will it take? Thanks so far for all the help

 

not much a small bottle would work but I always buy the big ones for extra just in case.... its cheap

 

Alright, replaced the clutch cylinder and bleed the line and it fixed it! Thank you so much from keeping me from replacing my clutch!
