i have a 91 f-150 5 speed man trans...my clutch pedal is grabing at the very top of its travel. just replaced a worn plastic bushing in the end of the clutch pedal rod but no big difference. some guys say you cant bleed the hyd clutch and some say you can. i need this fixed asap.iam slowly loosing my clutch.

If it's grabbing right at the top, it's very likely it's simply worn out and needs to be replaced. Yes, it can be bled, it has a bleeder screw.

the guy i bought this truck from said he replaced the clutch and had the flywheel cut . iam not sure about the bleeder i asked him and he said you dont bleed it. were the hyd line goes into the trans theres a brass looking bolt above it with a hole in it but no lil bleeder fitting in the middle so iam not sure if this is a bleeder or not.i just bought this truck so iam new to it..the clutch is not slipping at all..

If it needed bleeding, the pedal would be low or it would fade - not engage at the top.
