I JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. THE GUY SAID HE HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCH SEVERAL TIMES. HE HAS NEVER REPLACED THE SLAVE OR MASTER CYLINDER. HE HAS TO PUT FLUID IN THE SYSTEM SOMETIMES BECAUSE IT HAS A LITTLE LEAK IN IT. IT WILL GO INTO 1, 2, 3, AND 4TH FINE BUT IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO 5TH OR REV. SHOULD I REPLACE THE SLAVE AND MASTER OR IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE WRONG?

Does it NEVER go into 5th or REV. Or is it only difficult. If it never goes into those gears, yet goes into all the other gears just fine, you might be facing a transmission problem rather than a clutch problem.
