clutch pedal stuck to the floor

My clutch pedal is stuck to the floor. The master cylinder has fluid. I followed the line down to the slave cylinder and there is no leaks. any suggestions?

Maybe a stupid question but is your linkage from the clutch to the slave cylinder under the dash broke? It happened to me in my 94 150.

it's a hydraulic clutch or it should be put some fluid in it-should be a little container on the firewall left of the master cylinder

check the master cylinder and the linkage that attacches it to the pedal just because theres fluid dosnt mean theres not somthing broken on the inside.

OK, check the linkage first, if that looks fine, then you blew out your slave cyl. Happened to me on my 95. Really sucks cuz you gotta remove the trans to replace. If the pedal stays on the floor, and the clutch fluid resivoir is full, this is your problem

Also check where the shaft passes through the pedal support for wear.
05chop had some pic's of one really worn out but his photobucket link shows the images as deleted.
And look to see if the firewall is moving while someone else pushes the clutch.

I just bought a 95 150 4x4 with a 300 5spd,same problem,I plan on getting to the bottom of it here in the next day or so,is your clutch stuck engaged?my truck sat for a couple years and I suspect that the imput shaft is rusty and the slave is hanging up on that,or the slave itself if just stuck.either way I imagine the tranny will be pulled.

There apparently was a clip or something that held the plastic rod from the master cyl to the linkage and it popped off and my pedal was stuck to the floor with it engaged. Replaced with a fender washer and an E clip... no more sticky

two very easy fixes possible here.. master cylinder pushrod under the dash or the forementioned clip that holds it.. pulling into pep boys to complain about some tires on my girls car my clutch pedal dropped to the floor.. truck lurched foreward in gear and i couldn't shift.. had to turn it off fast lol.. people stared of course. with some figuring and moving the pedal it was rather obvious the pushrod was hangin by a thread on one side.. walked across the street to napa they didn't stock just the pushrod so had to buy the whole clutchmaster cly.. put it in in pep boys parking lot then jumped a brazilians semi truck that helped me bleed it with my girls buick regal and my grocery hauler.. then went to home depot and helped this girl change a flat tire.. an eventful day for vehicles that was (for me)

Yesterday when I was in 4th gear and climbing a huge hill (New Hampshire), I drove about 3/10 mile with the RPM's high. At the top of the hill I wanted to shift to 5th gear and the clutch went straight to the floor and stayed there. I coasted off of the main road and into a driveway that had 3 Dodge trucks in it. OMG they guys were brutal with the FORD jokes! LOL! Anyway, I am asking if anyone can give me any guidance on what may be wrong. More info: After about 3 minutes my clutch came back. The engine light on the dash is now stuck on. I drove the truck home and it was ok. I still think there is a larger problem here and it has existed from the very first time I revved the RPM's looooong ago. Thank you for any and all assistance.


try the 99+ superduty forum. youll have better luck there , this is the 87-96 forum.
