    Hi all, I have a 2011 international pro star. The cluch goes to the floor and I can’t put it in gear, it grides. I noticed the ball joint on the clutch linkage has some play. It is not a hydraulic clutch it is linkage. I went under the truck in greased The clutch.
    seems to be moving freely. I can push the clutch down and goes to the floor and it stays. I have to lift the clutch up with my foot back to its position. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Sounds like a bad clutch. If you feel around the in the bottom of flywheel housing and find scrap metal it is definent. JMO

    If you can see the clutch linkages, and they are all connected, worn or not and your pedal goes to the floor with no effort. Your throw out bearing on you clutch has come apart (usually from lack of grease). Time for a clutch.
