02 2500 6 speed clutch problem

i have changed everything from clutch plate to master cylinder and still have no pressure in pedal. I know it's got to be something simple that I'm missing please help.

When you say everything has been replaced how about a specific list of what you have done. What did this problem start as? Fluid level is where it needs to be?

Make sure the clutch fork is getting installed correctly, not backwards. Not opening the pre-assembled hydros for install right?

Sounds like one of 2 things, your master and slave not functioning or something wrong with your pressure plate or installation of it. If you have already tried a second master/slave assembly I would bet it's time to pull it out again and take a look at it.

What started this problem? Clutch replacement because of failure or something else?

The throw out bearing started squealing and then fell completely apart. While we were putting things back together someone hit the clutch peddle and blew the piston out of the old slave cylinder. So a new pre filled unit was ordered from NAPA checked it a few days later and had air in the line. Replaced it under warranty worked fine until everything warmed up and was pulling our fithwheel toy hauler to one of our kids races got to a stop sign 20 miles from the house and could not put in in gear to take off without pumping it real quickly so turned around and went home with disappointed kids

If you got it to release with some quick pumps, the prob is most likely hydraulic. Get a replacement from NAPA. I just did mine with one from Autozone, lifetime warr. DO NOT remove the little plastic retainer on the clutch slave cyl. Install it as is. The first clutch pedal application will release it, and you should be done at that point.

For this reason I am a fan of Mopar master/slave assemblies.

Pedals solid, not rocking around in sloppy or worn pivot bores?

Sounds stupid, but you wouldn't believe how bad some are worn.

I haven't done a 98 up, but the 97 was NOT fun. Here is my thread.
