ZF-5 ISSUE!
ok over the past few months there would be times i couldnt put it into gear while i first started it. so id have to shut it off throw it in gear and be on my way.
if i did do it that way the truck would lunge foward just a bit.
today i jumped in my truck and when i pressed on the clutch to start the truck the pedal felt easier than normal to push down.
sure enough i couldnt get it into gear and i tried what i normally do by shutting it off and put into gear that way...but this time the truck took off and i had to yank it out of gear to stop the truck.
anyone know what the issue may be?

My clutch master cylinder and cap are black. So seems it could be black or white.
Also, to help the op - the clutch maste/reservoir is just to the passenger side of the big round break booster on the firewall in the engine compartment.

ok i went to give the truck another try...and i forgot to check the fluid level.
what i did find out the clutch went down super easy and the pedal never came back up.
not sure if that info helps

I've never priced the kit from Ford. If it's not too expensive you could go with Ford, but if it is a ridiculous price, the parts store one should be fine. I've used a couple of the parts store systems and never had any problems.

Ya, system being slave and master.
Williams right. Someone recently posted here about fighting with parts store slaves and their smaller size. He ended up rebuilding his Ford one and said the clutch was much easier to push than it ever was with the parts store brand.
