Re: Clutch problem

Well I know for sure I have a leak in the master cylinder but figured the clutch acting up may be unrelated. I have a rebuild kit en route so we'll wait and see if that cures it.

I havent been able to find any kind of manual from haynes or chilton. whats a good service manual for these trucks?

btw it is a 62

the factory one is your best bet. Your brake and clutch share the same master cylinder, as well as the brake fluid, so chances are you are losing clucht presure as a result of your bad master. Keep us posted

they are pretty straight forward; there may be an exploded diaghram with the kit. just put it back together the way that it comes apart. the critical part is if the cyls are badly pitted or not and if they can clean up with a hone. if not you should replace them, so so rip the plastic bag apart in the kit unless you have to take it back and get cyls
when you get to it and have any problems someone here should be able to give you a hand
