clutch problem

[Brad kirk]

In the F-350 described in my sig, when i start the truck up, sometimes it won't go into first or reverse unless you shut the engine off. Also the clutch has to be pulled back up with your foot every time you use it(probably just a bad spring, how hard is it to get to that?). Any suggestions are heavily appreciated. I don't want the clutch to go out and leave me sitting on the side of the road.

Where the master pushrod connects to the pedal assembly is known for wearing out.

Could be low on fluid..... but the bushing on the master cylinder push rod is the usual culprit.....

Bushing... haha
by the time i got to mine... the steel pushrod hole was egg-shaped and the companion stud was half gone!
