GM hydraulic clutch problems

[JK5]

On my 86 K30..465/205

I have little or no clutch when I first start the rig up. After warming up,
I have a good pedal. I have low fluids and I'm not sure what fluid it requires,
power steering fluid???

Thanks for your help.

My 85 K20 Suburban takes DOT 3 brake fluid in the clutch reservoir. I suspect yours is the same.

I've had a couple vehicles in the past that acted similar. The next time you start it, pump the clutch 10-15 times & see if the pedal "raises."

The fluid is dot 3 brake fluid. I have had this problem before and u either have air getting in some where or needs to be bleed.

Thanks for the replies...

I filled the resevoir...all is well.

I'm not sure if it's leaking or not...
I've had the truck for 2 years, this is the first time I checked the level.

my ranger does that no sign of any leak but i have had to fill it twice in 5 years of owning it
