    The clutch and the clutch master cylinder are 2 different things. You should properly diagnose the problem before you throw parts at it. It sounds like it's just your clutch. In which you need to remove the transmission to change. An honestly, if you dont know the difference between the master cylinder and the clutch, you might not want to take on that job by yourself. Just my .02

    yes i know that the clutch is in the tranmission, that why i was hoping it was just the clutch master cylinder. How can you tell if you need the clutch or the master cylinder?

    Leaks

    If master cylinder is bad you will see leakage. If you cant see a leak and have fluid in you resevior its probably your clutch.

    I think that I do have some leakage from the clutch master cylinder so I changed that but now I dont have any pressure in the clutch, i think i need to bleed it but i cant find where to bleed it at. If anyone knows it would be a big help thanks!

    most likely it would be the clutch slave if there is no pressure but still has fluid in the resevior.you might have to go under the truck to find it

    Thanks for the help on bleeding the clutch master cylinder. I changed it out and made a big difference when changing gears. The only thing now is that when i let out my clutch it doesnt catch untill almost all the way out. Im guessing i can adjust that where i hooked the clutch master cylinder up to my clutch pedal?
