Hi,
2.3, 2w drive
Started truck, clutch had loose feeling, easy to depress.
Could not put truck into gear (seems clutch would not engage)
Checked clutch fluid reservoir and it was low
Have not been able to find where fluid is leaking from because snowy weather
140k on truck. Clutch seemed ok (not much slipping)
This looks like a master or slave cylinder problem? Or what else could it be?
I read that if you replace master cylinder you should also replace slave cylinder or other way around. True?
If I'm replacing master and slave I have to take transmission out to get to slave right?
In that case am I best off replacing clutch at this time?
Thanks, trying to make these decisions in quick order as I would like to have the truck back on the road sooner rather than later.
* Update this morning I looked for any leaks from the master cylinder assembly to where it connects to the slave. Didn't see any fluid anywhere, but the reservoir is bone dry.
