Alrighty so ive got a 1995 F-150 ecrb 2wd I6 m5od, the slave crapped out last week, so i went ahead and replaced both the master and slave cylinder, got it bled tonight, my only question is that with the rod that snaps onto the clutch pedal and goes into the master cyl seems to be shorter than the original rod.... my reason for thinking such is that my clutch pedal now sits lower than my brake pedal and only has half of the travel that it did originally, so im thinking that the rod i was supplied is shorter than the one that came from the factory.
Now im scared to drive my truck because i dont want to be driving it with the clutch halfway engaged which will lead to it being burnt up so im wondering if anyone has any insight on this/has dealt with this problem etc.

 

Hello.
Did you ever get help with this?

I'm going to move your post over to the truck section since it's not engine related. You'll more than likely get better help there. Best of luck with it.

 

A shorter pushrod won't affect clutch engagement, but it could affect clutch disengagement. IOW, it may make it harder to shift, with the clutch still partly engaged when you hit the pedal.

If you want to even up the pedals, you can remove the arm on the cross-shaft that has the pin that engages the pushrod eyelet, and re-install it a few degrees counter-clockwise to its current position (i.e. "re-clock" it). That's when you _do_ need to be careful about clutch engagement; if you adjust it too much, you'll start to push the pushrod, and thus start disengaging (slipping) the clutch even with the pedal all the way up.

 

Yes I did get help with this, turns out my truck (a 95 f150) uses a pushrod from an 87 or older ford truck, I ordered a pushrod from an 87 f150 and all my problems are solved thanks for chiming in yall
