Clutch problems?
<TABLE width="100%" border=0 itxtvisited="1"><TBODY itxtvisited="1"><TR itxtvisited="1"><TD vAlign=top itxtvisited="1">I have a 94 f250 4x4, 7.5L 5-speed. Yesterday while driving home pulling my work trailer, I felt something pop in the clutch pedal during a shift. I then noticed that the throwout bearing was chirping a bit while in nuetral. The clutch pedal became very firm, and now it is dificult to get trans. in gear.
The resevior is full and there are no leaks. I belive the problem is the slave cylinder but I am not sure. Any ideas?

Inspect everything from the pedal pivot to the throughout. The firewall issues are not supposed to plague this year truck, but any little thing like a bushing, mount etc could contribute to some of this.
Good luck.

I have inspected everything that I can (there is no inspection access for the clutch / throwout bearing), with no problems. I removed the slave cylinder, and can operate the piston by hand easily.
What would cause the firm pedal? Im 6'2", 210 lbs and it takes everything Ive got to get the clutch to the floor.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

With the slave removed, will the clutch pedal work freely and operate the slave?
If yes, your problem is in the bell, get your trans jack out.
If no, you problem is in the pivots and linkage, what there is of it, for the clutch pedal to the master.
We had this happen on the '66 wagon on the brakes--the bushing, such as it was, in the brake pedal pivot went to pot and bound up the brake pedal. Found that after replacing the master and having the same problem.
Good luck.
