When I bought my 94 B4000, the seller produced receipts for new master, slave, and clutch. Upon looking under the hood and under the truck, I noticed the new master. Looking under, I noticed a brand new shiny bleeder, and tell-tale greasy fingerprints all over the transmission and T-case.
It is now almost two years later. I'm trying to remain in denial that the clutch is dragging, but it isn't working. At first, it just showed up as an occasional 1-2 shift difficulty, so I thought it was a pilot bushing. Then it morphed into difficulty getting into first (but no apparent dragging/creeping) which I thought might be a shift fork issue. Now it's a full-on drag. The clutch engages and disengages at logical times, but it obviously dragging. At a stop, push in the clutch, go for first, and it won't go but the truck creeps forward. I have to stop the transmission by clunking it into reverse. Once it stops, it doesn't seem to spin again.
It's pretty obvious that the parts store junk that went in there aren't cutting the mustard. It started giving fits after a few thousand miles, and now after 20k it's just almost undriveable. What is the real fix?
