clutch problems

I have an 89 F 250 7.3 diesel 4x4. The the clutch pedal is almost to the floor and will not disengage the clutch. This happened after a short trip I thought that a hydrolic clutch would always return to position even if the clutch is bad. I do not believe the clutch is the problem. Has anyone had this problem if so what should I do.

If you have enough fluid in the MC and you don't have a puddle anywhere, I'd say your MC is bypassing within itself. Not sure where it is located and/or how hard it is to get to (will find out before long cause I"ll be replacing mine) but you can disconnect the line that goes to the slave and plug the hole, the pedal should not go down. If it does, your MC is shot. If not, and you don't have a puddle, maybe something is just disconnected around the slave cyl.

Have you replaced anything already and maybe didn't bleed the system enough?

Good Luck,


Dave
