Default Clutch problem Please help

So the best way i can describe whats going out its the clutch its self lets out slower then the pedal. I can dump the clutch an can feel it push back agians my foot to its normal resting place it just takes a couple more secs then normal. Is the rod that the clutch pedal pushes maybe getting stuck some where? The clutch does not slip. I wish i could decribe it better then that.

My best guess is that the hydraulic fluid is contaminated or has air in the line. You can try to bleed it, but they are non serviceable which means no bleeder screw and your supose to replace it all as 1 unit.

ok after doing some online searches about the problem im not the only one. I read some where people are somehow draining the fuild out and pushing new in does anyone know about that? How much am I looking for a new one? Because the problem I have this truck sat out for many years I picked it up as a work truck (141,000)to haul around wood and my quad. So i dont know whats good. I flush the rad and all the fluids, repaint the frame with rust stuff, aside from that I have no idea if the clutch is even good in it the pedal is hard to push. The clutch seems to engage and disengage just fine. I did the test of using the E-brake and using 2nd gear and it chadders and shuts off like anyother stick I've drove

i would be sure your hydro unit is the problem before buying a new one. new one for mine was alittle over $200 from a online dealer. its the whole assembly ready to install, master, slave, line, reservoir and fluid.

I sucked the old fluid one and keep cycling in new stuff till it was clear. After about 5 mins of drive its like the pedal broke free and hasn't done it sense and I've driven it a couple time sense then
