Slave Cylinder time?

[84TD]

This morning when I got in my truck I only had a little bit of pedal near the floor. The truck would still shift fine but it didn't feel normal. After 5-10 min of driving and shifting I got my normal pedal back, about 3in before I feel the clutch start to disengage. Ill have to see if it does it again tomorrow morning. Didn't do it at lunch.

Did it again this morning. I found the clutch master cylinder, fluid is full. Is this a common symptom? I looked at the slave, looks like it could be a pita. Advance stocks them for $55. Just want to get some knowledge before I drop 55 bones. The master is $77. This morning it was a little bit harder to shift so I think its getting worse. I really hope I dont have a clutch issue.

Sounds to me like your TOB is galling on the input shaft, or your firewall is cracked. Read the Drivetrain section of our FAQ Here.
