    Dunno, but my buddy has a 92 that did the same thing. It was his slave cylinder. He'd have to actually lift the pedal back up with the back of his foot almost like the clutch cable broke.

    Yeah, he called me one morning freaked out and panicked. He had it towed to a shop and all it turned out to be was the slave cylinder. He had around 150K on it at the time. I want to say he's pushing 250K now! F150 FTW!

    Internal leak in the slave cyl....when its cold the seals shrink....when it gets warmed up the swell and allow enough pressure to build up:waytogo:

    I'm a 100% certain it's the slave cylinder then. Nothing to it. When y'all gonna start on it?
