Easy Clutch

Hey all, well another possible problem....

This morning when I drove to work everything in my truck seemed normal. The clutch and everything was working fine. Then when I got back into my truck after work I noticed that my clutch was super easy to push. Not so easy that it falls to the floor, but it is a lot easier to push now then it was this morning.

It doesn't feel right, everything else seems to be working OK, it is just I am used to having to use a little effort to push my clutch and I miss it that way.

What would cause this to happen? Is something else going wrong?

By the way, I have a 1992 F-250 with the 351w.

Thanks,

Derrick

Check your entire clutch hydraulic system to see if you have a leak. Check your master cylinder to see if your low on fluid.

So how do I know if it is low on fluid? I opened the cap and there is a little filter in the way, I can't see in it. How full should it be?

look on the side of the master cylinder reservoir. you should be able to see how much is in there, and a line labeled "max".
