I have a 1991 F150 two wheel drive truck I Changed the transmission 5 speed
manual I replaced it with one from a 1990 F150 every thing fit good but now i
can not seem to get the clutch to disingauge completly to get it into gear is
it just air in the hydrolic clutch or is it something more. Is there a trick
to getting the air from the clutch out ? I just dont seem to have good pedal
when pushing it down. HELP!!

How did you bleed it? A hand held vacuum pump would be good. Pumping the
pedal doesn't usually work well. Gravity usually works OK for the patient.
