While driving on a 2 lane country road, I went to shift (change gears) my truck, and the clutch pedal fell off. I was able to get it into neutral, and coasted to a stop on the shoulder of the road. Upon investigating the cause, I found the pivot pin that the clutch pedal rotates on was missing the retainer and bushing from the right side of the pin, so the pin had moved to the left until the pedal became unattached. After removing the fuse panel from the dash board, and using a hammer handle to reach in and leverage the pedal pin back in place, I was able to drive home. I am an automotive supplier engineer, and do most of my own mechanical repairs on my own vehicles. I have not yet tried to purchase the replacement parts from a Ford dealer, but the auto parts store does not have them. My truck is a 2004 Ford f250 super duty 4x4, 4 dr, diesel.

- the contact owns a Ford F-250 super duty, and stated while vehicle was in a parking lot he stepped on the clutch and the pedal fell all the way to the floor. The stud to which the cylinder connected to sheared off. Updated 03/02/07.

The clutch hydraulics spontaneously failed while driving in traffic. One day the clutch was perfectly normal. The next day, I was driving to the store and the clutch pedal stuck to the floor a couple times. I had to manually lift the pedal. Even with the pedal depressed, the clutch began to engage. There is no evident leakage. The vehicle has 90k miles, mostly highway. I believe this happened at around 20k-30k miles but corrected itself. I can't find a record of the repair but now that it is happening again, I recall it happening before. Vehicle is now in shop.

Had a throw out bearing fork break into two pieces on my 2000 f250 Ford pick up. Clutch became totally inoperative and the truck had to be towed. Truck had 52,000 miles on it at the time of the failure. On examination the t. O. Bearing fork appears to have been cracked since new.

While driving at 50 mph clutch did not disengage to change gears. Vehicle was taken to a dealer. The dealer determined that the housing for one of the springs in the clutch pad broke between the sprind and outer housing.

I have a 2001 Ford F-250 diesel with a 6 speed manual transmission. The hydraulic clutch system has went out 3 times in less than a year. This past time the truck started pulling out into oncoming traffic on it's own while the clutch pedal was pressed to the floor. I had my 17 month daughter with me and we were almost hit! this is an unsafe system and something needs to be done about it before someone gets injured or even killed!!.

I have a 1999 Ford f250 superduty 6 speed manual. I have 61000 miles on it. Today the clutch pedal stuck to the floor when I was at a stop sign. The clutch slave/master cylinder went out. . . . Again. Luckily I knew how to drive a vehicle with a bad clutch. I had to shift a couple of times without the clutch pedal just to get it home. At least I was just down the street from my house. When the clutch slave/master cylinder goes out the clutch peddle loses pressure and lets the clutch engage and the truck starts rolling. This exact thing has gone out on my truck twice in the last 7 months. I just wanted to report this since it could be very dangerous if one of these went out when someone was standing in front or behind the vehice and the vehicle ran them over or even if it went out at an intersection and the truck rolls into the intersection before someone can stop it. Since its a diesel (lots of torque), you can't stop it very easily if it starts rolling in low, 1st gear or reverse. . Read more...

Without warning the hydraulic line from the master clutch cylinder ?term came off and rendering the clutch completely useless (pedal went to the floor and stayed there). Was luckily in a parking lot just about to pull onto a highway with a 4000 lb trailer. Realized how dangerous that could have been. Forrest cate Ford in lafayette, GA says the part they are replacing it with is updated so that the line doesn't do that. This should be a recall. If that happened on the highway with zero warning, I could have had problems stopping quickly or controlling the vehicle. I was lucky but want no one else to be unlucky. Thank you.

While driving 10 mph consumer was not able to shift gears. Vehicle was towed to dealer. Dealer determined that clutch fork had broken.

Hydraulic clutch has failed two times while traveling less than 5 mph. Dealership has replaced clutch disc assembly in an attempt to remedy problem. Please provide any additional information / documentation.

Hose blew out of the bottom of clutch master cyclinder due to the keeper pin missing. This caused the clutch pedal to go to the floor and remain there. If there would have been an obsticle in front of the vehicle it would have been hit.
