Im assuming its hydraulic but i couldnt find the pump at the firewall so i am not sure. i didnt spend a lot of time because i was hoping someone would be able to tell me whats going on but apparently im going to have to figure it out myself. just doesnt seem like i would be the only one that has had this happen. i thought maybe the fluid was freezing up but i didnt think hydraulic fluid was supposed to freeze??? if you got im my truck right now you would swear there was no clutch in it, but if you wait till march it will be just like new. unfortunately my mustang heater core is no longer in it so i need to get this thing going. you might be having the same problem although when mine went, it went. last year it would engage just off the floor, this year wont engage at all. of course when it warmed up last year and stared working again i basically forgot all about it. dont fix it unless its broke right????
