Default 1986 110 clutch problem

Greetings,
Here is my recent problem I am dealing with and would like a bit of help if you can. I have been having a nagging problem with my clutch. I have replaced the slave cylinder as well as the clutch itself and everything has been fine for about six months. Now I am losing my pedal and getting fluid coming down the pedal on the inside of truck and the reservoir completely drains. Is there a seal or something that can be changed. I imagine it is a problem with the clutch master cylinder. Is this an easy fix or something I should go to the Landy shop for?

Thank you in Advance,
David

Just replace the master cylinder, which really you should have done at the same time you replaced the slave cylinder. They generally age at about the same rate and it's common for the other to fail not long after you've replaced the other. Also a good time to replace the flex line between the bulkhead and the SC as well.
It's a pretty easy fix to swap out the MC. The flex line isn't too bad either, but you'll want flare nut spanners for the fittings (good to use them on the MC line fittings also). You'll have easier access if you remove the wing.

You should check the clutch plate and pressure plate.

These would have nothing whatsoever to do with symptoms he was describing.

Glad to hear you got it sorted.
Did you have them also replace the flex line? If not, I really suggest you have that done as well, next time you have it in the shop.
