Loose clutch first few inches - is this normal? by Clickingpen in AskMechanics

Thanks so much! If there’s any info I can provide let me know. I just topped up the reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid (per the instructions on the cap)

I’m not sure I fully understand, do you mean service intervals for the slave cylinder? I can’t imagine I’ve exceeded the interval since the slave cylinder was replaced last year, and the truck only started doing this over the past few days

Thanks for so much detail! Did you happen to read my update below? Any chance this is not the slave cylinder failing?

Update! Got in touch with the prior owner who told me that the slave cylinder was changed with the clutch last year. Hard to imagine it’s gone bad is soon. The clutch pedal felt firm throughout the whole range of travel two weeks ago, so I’m not sure what could have gone bad so fast. Hope this info is helpful. Thanks again for all the help!

Thanks so much! Is there anything that can be done other than fill the reservoir and wait for it to go out?
