Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) clutch master or slave cylinder?

[mschoenheider]

Today, while driving my truck, the clutch pedal went dead. I am pretty sure it is either the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder. The pedal will go to the floor with little effort, and the clutch will still be engaged. There is no fluid leaking from either the master or slave, at least none that is easily detectable. The reservoir still is full. There is a slight amount of resistance when I first try to push the pedal in, but after about an inch of travel, all resistance is gone and the pedal goes to the floor. I have searched through TDR, and found that some people recommend replacing both at the same time, as a sealed unit so that I wouldn't have to bleed the slave cylinder. Where is the best place to get the combo, or each piece separately?



Thanks for the help.

dealer only sell a complete "kit" ... . all assembled and with fluid in it

do some more search. . you will find that the are threads about a Napa unit the works very well. . needs a tiny bit of adaption but has larger volumne slave and holds up better than stock or so said the threads

I have heard that Peter at Southbend clutch also sells them, whitch I will be getting one soon, just put in a Van Haisly DD Street/Drag that works great but won't disengage completely do to weak slave cylinder.

Do you guys have any idea how I can tell if it is the slave cylinder or the master cylinder?
