Hydraulic Clutch

[B585Ford]

Well, I am pretty sure something ch#t to bed in the hydraulic system of my clutch. Drove the truck a few days ago and it was normal. This evening, got in it, and as soon as I pushed in the clutch to start it, it felt funny. Tried to blame it on my imagination. Took off and when I went to stop (push in the clutch), the pedal stayed on the floor and the truck didn't stop. I was in Granny gear but I couldn't get it out of gear so had to shut the truck off to stop. Anyways, do we have any options besides the Ford slave cylinder, etc? Last time I checked, I thought it was only sold as a kit? Is that still the case? Anyone disagree with my diagnosis (I havent seen a leak or anything before)?

I have seen the seals go bad in the master cylinder do this. I would checek that also.

Ok, I will definitely check. Thanks. Do you know if you can just buy the master cylinder by itself?

I am not sure. Never had to buy one.

At Sunrise, I can buy the master cylinder. Other than replacing it and hoping it fixes the problem, is there any way to test if this actually the problem?
