Hello there my truck (1988 ford f-150 I6) will not go into gear when i push the clutch ,it will when the truck is off. It just acts like im not pushing the clutch.I have already checked the master cylinder fluid but i know that wouldnt be the problem.(it was full)
Everything feels fine when the truck is off it goes into gear smoothly like normal and the clutch feels fine.
It was running fine and shifting perfect when i parked it but the next day this problem occured.
This is a new problem that i never had before and your help would help me tremendously.

i just had a similar problem and it was because my pressure plate was cracked. i think you are going to have to replace the clutch.
