Brakes problem
2003 Ford Truck 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 90k miles

It looks like the slave cylinder in my truck is acting up and needs to be replaced. the clutch pedal lost all pressure and seems to be stuck. if i leek the system will this fix the problem temporaly to give me some time to buy both cylinders (master and slave cylinder)?

Hi there,

bleeding the system will give you better pedal pressure for a short time, how long will depend on how bad the leak is, if it is a mechanical issue, this will not help, try bleeding first and if this works, get the parts ordered before it lets you down.
