Its noticeably harder to where i dont notice it when its warm, and i have to put quite a bit more pressure to put it in.

i've tried to see if lower revs or higher revs fix the problem and if i keep the revs low to get the clucth out, 90% of them time it doesnt do it.

I think the only way to find out whats wrong at this point is to pull the transmission. Either the hydraulics are starting to go or the other thing I thought of today is that the fingers on the pressure plate are loosing their integrity.

well since it is a '95, and it probly hasnt been done yet, i wanna get a new clutch put in it. I dont know how soon that will be since i dont have a job yet.

I havent noticed it as much as i did before. I think maybe the clutch has worn down some? and not caused hot spots? I'm not sure.

My truck isn't a 5spd but is there an adjustment o. The master cyl or the pedal inside the truck? Sounds like it's out of adjustment a little bit

I find it very odd there isn't. I've never see. A clutch setup that isn't adjustable in some way

Most modern hydraulic clutches aren't adjustable. The old cable clutches were because the cables were known to stretch over time. With these trucks, you can't even properly bleed the slave cylinder. It's all a sealed unit that comes preassembled and bled.

I would say start off replacing slave cyl since it's cheapest. And see what happens next

Lol, sadly, you can't replace just the slave cylinder. Like I said, the entire hydraulic assembly comes as a sealed, assembled unit with fluid and pre-bled.

Here is a picture of the master cyl/pedal. There is only one mounting point on the pedal arm and nothing to adjust.
