The brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder is leaking out, or has air in the line btween the master and slave most likely. It is probably the slave cylinder inside the bell housing on the shaft that is the culprit. They go out alot. especially in colder wheather. The good news is that it is under 100 bucks for the part. The bad news is to get to it takes about 8 hours under the truck, or at a mechanic for 900 bucks at least. They will usually change the whole disk, plate, slave, release bearing and pilot bearing all in one shot. have them check the rear main seal on the crank while theey are in there. It will only be anothe 25 bucks or so. I just changed all of that for under 1000.00 at a shop. parts and labor. Buy Luk clutch kit. it is the best one out there.

How did you know a car clutch disc has a problem?
If you own a car with a manual transmission, there can be several warning signs that your clutch is going bad. When the clutch pedal is fully released, the engine should be gear-locked to the tires. This means that the tachometer (the dial usually on the left, listing RPMs) should move proportionally to the speedometer (usually on the right or center, listing MPH or KM/Hr). While driving, try momentarily flooring the accelerator. (Safely, of course!) If the tachometer jumps a lot more than the speedometer, your clutch may be slipping. Take it to a mechanic to be replaced. If you smell a strange smell coming from your car, it could be the clutch material burning. Clutches have a very particular smell, so try to find someone familiar with it to tell you if it's the clutch or something else. Brakes can have similar problems. Burning clutches can be a sign of several issues. If you have an older cable clutch, your cable may need to be tightened. Have a mechanic do this. If you have a newer car with a hydraulic clutch, your lines may need to be bled. Have it evaluated by a mechanic. Don't forget to ensure that you depress the clutch pedal fully. Pressing the pedal only part-way causes the clutch plates to rub, which can wear them out if dome for too long. As a rule of thumb, you are rubbing your plates too much if you start to smell the clutch burning. As with all auto mechanics issues, consulting with a qualified mechanic is key. Do not rely on the internet for proper, accurate diagnosis.
