Hi All, just joined your club. I live Downunder in Australia and have just put a new clutch into my 1984 Diesel 720 pickup. After driving it for a week with no probs I got in it today and there is no tension on the clutch pedal...it just goes straight to the floor. I have tried pumping it about 20 times but still nothing.Can anyone suggest what I should do please?Also is there a workshop manual on this site?Thanks in advance guys.Rgds/Simon Downunder

Its a hydraulic clutch and has a master cylinder on the firewall in front of the driver and a slave cylinder on the right hand side close to the transmission case...since you are probably driving on the wrong side of your vehicle, the locations may be different...your local parts store should be able to provide you with replacements for either or both (slave & master) of the items and then it is a matter of bleeding the line...

good luck down there, mate!
