Clutch Issues?

I looked over that, but i'm not sure that is the same problem. My clutch pedal goes down all the way to the floor, and it comes up just fine, but the first 6ish inches doesnt do anything to the clutch itself, and it feels like the clutch doesnt release all the way when the pedal is all the way to the floor... I had a very hard time of putting the truck in gear, especially reverse, when the engine was on, but once the engine was off it shifted just fine.

Sounds like there might be a bit of air in the line.

Have you tried to bleed it yet?

Where is the fluid leaking?

I haven't tried anything yet, and I haven't seen any leaks, I just based my ideas on how I thought it should work. I looked at the reservoir and I didn't see any fluids in it, should I have?

If you don't have any fluid in the reservoir you probably have air in the line or slave cylinder. Fill the reservoir, bleed the system & find the leak, the fluid had to go somewhere.
