I don't know but if you don't have a vehicle handbook I suggest you order one from the dealer - that and many more answers can be found inside.
If the truck uses hydraulic brakes the clutch system might share the Brake reservoir in line with modern practice. The clutch master cylinder appears to be fed with fluid through a hose so if you can find the master cylinder and follow the hose it will lead you to the reservoir.
...??.. the bore that the plunger rides in may be worn to the point of allowing it to bind... its a wear related thing..your bike/master cylinder IS 28 YEARS old...
Do a full master cylinder rebuild..if it does not fix it.. think about a NEW master cylinder..(a used one is NOT ok)..
your clutch master cylinder is right beside your brake master cylinder. I would advise you to replace the master cylinder and the slave cylinder together. The slave cylinder is on the side of the transmission. The slave cylinder does have a bleeder screw on it after the parts are bolted in place fill with dot 3 brake fluid and open the bleeder on the slave cylinder until fluid starts dripping out. Then tighten bleeder then open bleeder and have someone push down on clutch pedal while the pedal is pushed down tighten the bleeder the release pedal. Repeat this procedure until you get no air and the pedal feels normal and you should be good to go. Good luck!
have you checked the fluid in the clutch master cylinder? look under the hood on the drivers side, on the firewall. looks like a brake master cylinder,takes regular brake fluid. if low,top it off with brake fluid and keep pumping it[the clutch pedal] until it works right. you may also have a bad clutch slave cylinder[located on the side of your transmission] it may be bad. it's not uncommon for it to go bad at any time. it's called a slave cylinder,or hydraullic clutch cylinder. you can purchase it at most auto parts stores,such as auto zone or advance auto parts. wish you the very best of luck,thank you for choosing fixya.com
your truck has a hydraulic clutch, which has a master cylinder next to the brake master cylinder. Check the fluid level. If it is low or empty, you have a leak in the master or slave cylinder (at the transmission).
Replace the leaking part and bleed the system to restore clutch pedal.
The brake system and the clutch master cylinder have the same fluid tank, look at the brake master cylinder fluid tank, on the right hand side about half way up is a hose that goes over to the clutch master cylinder, if fluid level is not above this hose the clutch will stop functioning. If the clutch slave cylinder, mounted on the front side of transmission bellhousing, leaks then the clutch will stop functioning. The slave cylinder has a bleed screw, check these items and fill and bleed as neccessary. Hope this helps, let me know.
ok things that you will need to look at Frist there are two holes in the master cyl. make sure both are open a needle with help with this. i all see alot of people put the plunger in backwards. i wish i had more time to find the brake down for your bike but any will do because they all work the same. i'm going to give you site that will show the order of parts. after you have it apart you should hone the bore that will clean anything out and make it smooth. clean it will with contact cleaner and dry it good, DONT use carb spary!!!! after you get it put togerther right and if you still haven problems bleb it at the banjo bolt. this is gone by pumping it up and lossen the bolt make sure you hold the lever in till you have it tight or it will pull air back in. good luck my friend

If you are leaking fluid from the clutch master cylinder then you have air in the system. You could try and bleed the air out of the clutch slave cylinder to get the gears but it would not last. The only way is to replace the defective master cylinder, replace all of the fluid and bleed out the air through the slave cylinder.
