The clutch must be pumped in order to put the truck in gear when first starting up. The master cylinder is about 2 years old and I am not sure about the slave cylinder. I have not found any leeks. There is a damper between the master and slave. Also sometimes the clutch will engage close to the floor and other times not. The system has been bled several times but the problem persists. Do you have any ideas. Thanks Jon

If you have to pump the clutch, chances are the slave is bad.
