Default Clutch Concern

Sometimes when i start my truck it acts like clutch is engaged an tries to take off. But others it dont. AN also sometimes its all i can do to get it into gear. Is it almost clutch time, or maybe like a slave cylinder or something?

Sounds like the slave, when your clutch is bad it will slip

I had similar problems with my clutch. Come to find out the pilot bushing had gone bad and was seizing to the trans input shaft. Found that when 5th gear fell off.
