My clutch went out I replace the clutch kit and pedal still soft. so I replace the slave cylinder bleed the system and it's still soft. if I put it in first and pushing the clutch to start it it'll try to take off in first. what's wrong with the truck?

Good afternoon,

This sounds like your clutch master cylinder is leaking internally causing this issue.

I would replace it and bleed the system again.

1. Disconnect battery ground cable.

2. Remove lower steering column covers, then remove NC duct from lower left side of instrument cluster.

3. Disconnect master cylinder push rod from clutch pedal, then remove retaining nuts at dash panel.

4. Disconnect reservoir hose and slave cylinder hydraulic line at master cylinder, then remove master cylinder from vehicle.


INSTALLATION
1. Install master cylinder assembly and torque retaining nuts to 10-14 ft. lbs.
