slave cylinder
well me and a friend were out 4byin when i got stuck in a real nasty hole so i got out and hooked up my winch when i got back in the truck it would not go into gear it would just grind. so i pulled the truck out of the hole with my trusty side kick "warn" when i gopt it out i bled the clutch and it worked............for like 3 gear changes and then it was back to no clutch i looked around and there was no leaks anywhere. thats why i was asking if a slave could go with no leaks.

It doesn't take much of a leak to kill it. Chances are the fluid is being held in the bellhousing area still. Or you could just have air getting in somehow. That'll jam up the works in a hurry.

well i dont want you to "shotgun" it it seems strange that it worked fine up to the point that you got stuck but if it worked once you bled it (be it only 3 times) i would say throw 25 bucks at it. look at your hose really close pin hole leak and you will have the same trouble with the new one. let me know what you find out plz. interested in the out come

i had this exact problem in a 95 f series this week at work...i would bleed the clutch...it would be fine...let it sit for a little while and then no clutch...i ended up removing the master cylinder to bench bleed it and i found the seal where the pushrod goes was seeping fluid past it and letting small maounts of air in..i put a master in it and it was good.

clamp it in a vice put the tube coming off into a dish of brake fluid fill the resevor and with a philips head screwdriver push the piston in and let out keep doing this till there is no air coming out of the tube in the dish. once done with that put on and then bleed the slave cyl..
