clutch adjustment
I just bought a 1996 f-250 w/ powerstroke. It has a 5 speed manual tranny that is hard to shift into 1st and reverse. I thought the clutch needed adjustment because when I shift into any gear , the tranny engages before the clutch pedal is 1/4 inch off the floor. But there is no adjustment on the slave cylinder. How do you do it?

donhall , there isn't any adjustment in the clutch . Most likely it's like Itfox said , it's a white ( sometimes black ) plastic bushing on the clutck linkage where the pivit fits into the rod . $ 10. at ford ( used to be $3. ) . There is a permanant fix useing a hiem joint I know someone is selling on ebay for $40.

ditto the ebay hiem joint ive got it on all my trucks and it makes the world of differnce.
if you go that route, id pull your master cylinder shaft out so you can cut it square as close to the loop as possible. there are good instructions that come with it.

I am having the same problem as donhall mentioned, but also with most of the other 3 gears. Does any body have any links for the ebay hiem joints? Also some detailed pictures or diagrams of this bushing would help, thanks.
