Im having trouble getting into just about every gear. When i put the clutch pedal to the floor in first, it is engaging just a little and the car will move very slowly. Is my clutch going out?

Check you clutch master cylinder. Make sure it has fluid. Possibly replace if failing.

There are a few things to check. Master clutch cylinder, the slave cylinder, or its the infamous clutch bracket fatigue.

Check this link for fatigue issues with the clutch bracket.

I live in fear of the clutch bracket failure... Everytime I hear any type of spring squeak or anything I jump out of the truck and get under there with a flashlight. So far so good (knock on wood). Yikes.

I bought a new bracket, installed it, and I still worry about when its going to fail. I think its just psychosomatic. LOL

Okay well i check both master and slave cylinders for leaks-nothing, had someone engage clutch while i looked and slave-it moves in and out of bell housing, and the clutch bracket is intact and functional. Whats going on? Could the rod just need to be adjusted?
