Clutch problems
Ive got a 2000 F350, 2wd with 7.3l. for the past day my pedal has felt a little mushing at the top and this morning while driving to work, i pushed it in to change to 2nd and the pedal didnt come back up. i pulled it out of gear and turned in a parking lot. i was able to pull the pedal back up but has since done it twice more. finally, the clutch works about 1-2 inches off the floor now. i checked the fluid and it checked out ok. i now the clutch was starting to slip after my chip and bigger tires but hasnt given me the slightest bit of problems, even towing 9000lbs loads. ive never really delt with a clutch so im hoping someone can give me a little insite on what ive got going on!! thanks for your time!!

Here's a tip for ya.
The new slave cyl.will come w/ a plastic retaining strap to hold the push rod in.
Do not cut the strap until after you have installed the cyl.
Seems simple enough,but alot of folks will cut the strap,then it can be a PITA to install.
Another thing to check while you're there;
There is a plastic bushing on the m/c push rod where it attaches to the clutch pedal. Replace it.
I can't remember if it comes w/ the new m/c or not.
