    The first 3/4 of the clutch pedal does not work only the bottom 1/3 actually engages the clutch. Does this mean the clutch master cylinder is on its way out? Is there a way to adjust the travel of the pedal?

    Yes the reservoir is full. And there is no sign of a leak. The peddle has been like this since I bought the truck.

    Could try that.

    As far as adjustment goes theres a bolt on the braket where the pedal pivots that acts as a stop. You can adjust that some
