its a 2002 the thing is it worked fine saturday but this morning when i was headed of to work the clutch pedal felt real soft and i had trouble getting it into gear. so i went out again this morning and i can drive it and shift it fine as long as i am real gentle on the clutch i thought maybe the push rod may need adjustment and im not really sure if its hydraulic or not. because im not much of a mechanic in terms of clutches and stuff but any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like your slave cylinder is leaking. Thes clutches are hydraulis and when the fluid goes down you cant shift. Check under your truck right under transmission if theres fluid there thats what it is. Also check the master cylinder on the firewall if its low thats another sign. Note not a fun job to replace I had to pull trans and do it I changed my clutch plate etc while it was off.

yea i checked for leaks by the transmission and there isint any sign of leakage, the master cylinder is still full so now im not sure what could be wrong . i guess the next thing would be to bleed the master cylinder . i sure hope it isint the slave cylinder. but ill give it another go around here. thanks.
