Hello all.
Got a 2011 cascadia with a hydraulic clutch. Fluid level is showing max.
Went to start the truck and noticed pedal throw to be quite shorter than usual; about half of normal travel. Engine started no problem. Drove a few hundred miles, shut engine down for 30min break. When i came back, engine wouldn't turn over and clutch pedal travel was shorter than earlier. I shoved my foot on the pedal and got it to go down further and was able to start engine. Pedal stayed down. I pulled on it and it popped out/up.
I can still get in and out of gear, and start to roll, but clutch feels grabby with very little pedal release.
I appreaciate any help. Thanks!

If you've never replaced them, you may need a new master or slave cylinder soon.

The money you could've used to repair your truck will now be spent instead on a tow bill.
How old is your clutch, it could also be a worn clutch plate?
I would still recommended replacing the master and slave as preventive maintenance, as there's a piston inside that eventually gets so worn that it will lock up your clutch pedal so you can't even push it down and you will be stranded.........and you will either need a tow or a mobile mechanic to fix it.
It happened to me with my hydraulic clutch and it wasn't fun.Last edited: Oct 14, 2017
