How to adjust my clutch on my transmission of my truck listed above? It is hydraulic. I already bled the system but I can still barely get into first gear? Any help?

Hello,

These clutches are self adjusting. do you have good pedal? if so it could be the clutch disc is fallen apart not allowing the clutch to become disengaged. Here is a guide to help and a video that will walk you through the clutch job on a similar car:

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Please run down these guides and report back.

Yep, its either the clutch disc or pilot bearing is out, either way the transmission needs to come out and the clutch replaced/inspected.
