clutch pushes really hard!

I have an 85 150 w/a juice clutch and you have to stand on the clutch for it to go down. what can i do and does a 90 model mazda 5 spd tranny have an integrated bell housing?

While there are more than likely some here that can answer your question, you may be better off asking your question in the forum for the truck instead of the engine (since it isn't engine related).

Check out:
1980 - 1986 F100, F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks
for your current transmission.
And
1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks
for the 5 speed question.

Clutches do get harder to press with time. If it’s really hard to depress the pedal I would look for binding in the pedal, blocked or restricted hydraulic passages, and possibly misalignment or binding of the clutch/pressure plate/release bearing on the splines/shaft. Could be that a little grease on the splines/shaft could make all the difference. But a thin coat is all you'll need... don't gob it on.

I don't think the bellhousing is removable.
