Look and see if there is a second master cylinder under the hood of your truck, near the brake master cylinder, in fornt of the driver's seat. This would be the clutch master cylinder, and should be slightly smaller than the brake nmaster cylinder. From your description, that clutch master cylinder may be out of fluid, brake fluid. Probably your slave cylinder has failed, it is attached to your transmission on the other (lower end) of the brake line from the firewall master cylinder. Adding brake fluid might get the clutch to work long enough to get your car to a garage or up on some ramps so you can fix it. Be blessed
check clutch cover or replace, clutch lining or replace, release bearing or replace, pilot bearing or re place, primary clutch repair kit or replace, secondary clutch repair kit or place new one,. check cross joint
I think by going to the larger diameter clutch, you have to use a different length clutch fork and maybe a different release bearing. The larger clutch requires that the fork must travel farther to release the clutch. If you use the same fork , the ratio is all wrong. I think a shorter fork is what is needed.
Remove transmission and check the clutch slave cylinder for leakage. Check fluid level and bleed if necessary. Remove clutch, pocket bearing, throwout bearing and pressure plate. Check for leakage from rear engine seal and front transmission seal. Remove and replace seal(s) if traces of oil are present. Check clutch for oil film and excessive wear, damaged or worn pressure plate (if close to tollerence, replace for convenience). Replace clutch components as necessary and reassemble using your manual for guidance. This should take care of the problem. I see you have changed your fuel filter and given a basic tune up so you should be good to go at that point (check compression and distributor timing) If timing belt has not been replaced around 60,000 then replace or you may end up on the side of the road. if any further questions let me know.
I dont think that will work ....1988 was aod and aode trans
The AXOD-E was renamed AX4S in 1993. In addition to the name change,
improvements in the lubrication of the gearset and capacity upgrades
were made. A centrifugal piston assembly was implemented in the
intermediate clutch position to improve 1st-2nd and 2nd-1st shift
quality and an increase in the clutch's durability was made on some
models. High energy friction materials were also introduced. A new twin
piston torque converter clutch (TCC) was introduced with the AX4S and
the AX4N on some models. The transaxle pan on this model will sometimes
read "AXOD Metric" since it's based on the AXOD transaxle. The data
plate code for this transmission is "L."
Applications:
The Ford AX4S automatic transmission
is a four-speed electronic overdrive transmission used in 1995 to 2000
Ford Windstar minivan. The transmission is also used in 1991 to 2003 Ford Taurus
and Mercury Sable, and 1993 to 1995 Ford Taurus SHO models. The AX4S is
a second-generation version of the AXOD and AXOD-E transmissions used
in 1986 to 1991 Ford Taurus.
You will need the Chev pressure plate to suit the Chev flywheel and a clutch plate to suit the Ford ZF gearbox. Ford ZF throwout bearing and clutch fork should be fine.
