84 clutch problems

Hey Everyone im new to the forums, I have a 84 f-150 with the straight 6, as of now it will not move, I can put the truck in every gear fine but when it is in gear and i let the clutch out it will not move, it sat for about a year and when i went to move it i pushed the clutch in and it stuck to the floor so i added fluid and pumped the clutch till it got pressure but i cannt get the truck to move in any gear, has anybody ever had this problem or know of a solution, any help would be greatly appreciated

First Welcome to the best truck forum on the web. It sounds like the clutch isn't engaging. Is the clutch stuck or jammed?

Did you bleed the slave cylinder? If it was out of fluid, there may be a leak too.

yeah i tried to but there is no bleeder valve so i dont really know how to do it when i open the valve it just spews fluid out of a little hole on the side, but the clutch is not stuck or sticking and when i push the clutch in the slave cylinder moves normally

That little valve on the slave cylinder is the bleeder screw. It makes a horrible mess when you have to bleed it. Is it moving enough, your clutch master cylinder should have an adjustable pushrod. It's not too hard to reach up under the dash.

a completely worn out clutch plate will do this. Did it appear gradually or did it appear suddenly?

sounds like trans drop time, clutches are wearable items after all.

but as said on the non hydraulic clutches there is an adjustment linkage

your situation is odd, typically it's the exact opposite that happens.

Anyway, try this. get under your truck and find the clutch fork. grab onto it and push it towards the front of the truck as hard as you can, maybe even puch with your leg or something. see if it pops or anything like that.

then without depressing the clutch try starting your truck in gear (if you still have a clutch safety interlock, un plug it and jumper across it). If the truck starts moving you've found where your problem is.

The throw out bearing guide may have gotten some rust on it and when the bearing slid over it, it locked the pressure plate disengaged.
