Clutch 1995 F150
#2
The pedal goes all the way to the floor because it is not operating anything. It does not come back because the pressure plate is not pushing it back. You cannot shift gears because the clutch is not disengaging. You've probably lost the fluid from your clutch system. Could be from a leaking slave cylinder (most likely), a leaking master cylinder or a blown line. It could also be an internal failure of either the master or the slave but that is unlikely
So start with the basics:
Does the clutch master cylinder reservoir have fluid in it?

The slave is inside the bellhousing. You have to pull the tranny to get at it.
Not one of Ford's better ideas.
There was fluid in the reservoir? How much did you have to add to top it off?
Inspect the line from the master cyl down to the bellhousing look for leaks, cracks etc.
When you operate the pedal now do you feel any resistance? Does it want to return at all? You've got air in the system now but you need to find out where the fluid went.

I did not add any fluid because it was full. I had some after i changed the master cylinder. I changed it because when the resistence left the pedal hit the floor breaking the end of the piston of the cylinder.
I did not see any leaks on the line neither on the slave cylinder

I have the same problem as you Simons.Have the same truck too-a 1996 F150 with 4.9 six and 4sp tranny.I have a slow leak in the slave cyl. and have to add fluid every 4-5 months.I ran it dry and can,t find the bleeder nipple.Perhaps you can tell me where the dam thing is. Thanks for your anticipated help.

Did that 4speed come from the factory? Is that have a separate bell housing? Lookin to swap my m5od for a 4 speed and itd be easier if i could swap for something more up to date
