My clutch pedal keeps sticking to the floor when I depress it to put the vehicle in gear. I have to pick it back up with my foot in order to shift again. It also randomly sucks all the way back down to the floor by itself. There are no leaks from the slave or master cylinder. Which one should I replace first?

Hi Jason Smithson,

Problem is most likely to be the master cylinder or the throw out bearing is catching due to a worn out clutch. Here is a guide that will help you fix the problem.

and

This is how you replace the clutch in a similar car the process is the same.

So I have replaced the master and slave cylinder. The problem remains, except now the clutch pedal doesn't stick all the way to the floor. When I depress the clutch pedal I now have a hard time putting the truck in gear. However the clutch pedal comes off the floor about two to three inches then stays at that location. I had to watch the video a few times but I got a clutch kit for $154.00 to fix the issue thanks for all your help I love this site.

Most probably the clutch master cylinder is bad and requires replacement. Have the slave cylinder replaced as a set to avoid near future failure.
