97 F350 clutch issues

I've recently picked up a 1997 Ford F350 Powerstroke and am facing some issues that come with owning an older pick up.

I was unable to shift gears and after some researching I discovered that the plastic bushing and the push rod for the clutch master are both warn. I pulled the entire unit off the truck only to find that it is leaking anyway... so I am quite sure I've found the issue.

However, now I have a new one. I'm located in Ontario, Canada and am unable to find a source here for the entire system that INCLUDES the push rod.

Can anyone offer me some suggestions?? I've been researching over the past day or so with no luck.

Thank you in advance! I don't want my first real issue with this truck to haunt me!!

Cheers.
Matt

I went to the site and ran the number... no results. Am I missing something?

Ok I found it. I will ask in the morning if it has the push rod.

Thanks!

I had a lot of issues with my truck not going in gear and the throw out bearing destroying itself. I ended up replacing the clutch , throw out bearing , pedal box bushings , (all FORD factory parts) , master and slave cylinder and doing the heim joint mod. ( I'm still haveing trouble putting mine in reverse sometimes so it's still a big frustration ������). Just keep in mind it could be several things seperately or a combination. But good luck ! And if you have questions we have answers. (Mostly !!!)
