The system will gravity bleed if you open the bleeder valve on the bell housing and leave the reservoir cap off. Do not let the reservoir go dry, keep it full. Using a piece of rubber hose that fits tight over the bleeder valve and directing the fluid into a container keeps the mess to a minimum. Using a clear rubber hose lets you monitor the bubbles so you know when it runs clear, you're done.
if i remember correctly the clutch in that year truck uses a hydraulic clutch with a master cylinder and a slave cylinder in the bell housing, all you can do as far as service goes is replce missing fluid and bleed the slave cylinder, acommon problem with this system is a leaking slave cylinder! and the only fix is to remove the transmission and clutch to replace the slave cylinder, so most turn the flywheel and replace the clutch and throwout bearing at the same time, but as i say i don't remember what year ford made the switch but i have done this on a 92 f-150
Bleed the slave cyl. It probebly has air in the line or no fluid.
You can't, there is no adjustment. Time to replace clutch, slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder. 1 of the 3.
You need fuel, compression and spark to run, you are missing one of those.
Your 89 SHO has the same cable operated clutch as my 90 SHO. With a cable, there is no fluid and no master/slave cylinders for the clutch.

They don't use a cable; it's a hydraulic assembly with a master cylinder, line, tube, and slave.
Yes,
There is a nipple on the slave cylinder that u open and close to bleed. you need to find a around an 8 inch piece of clear aquarium tubing and a catch can "empty dog food can". U need to place the tubing over the nipple portion.if the tubing is to small insert needle nose pliers in the end and stretch it out. once tube is attached u can begin the bleeding process. Make sure you have extra brake fluid, and a person to compress the clutch pedal. Fill up your master cylinder and maintain a constant level if you don't u will have to bleed again. to bleed you need to open the slave cylinder valve and depress the clutch pedal to the floor and hold it there until u close the slave valve. then you can release the clutch u may have to manually move it back to the upward position. repeat these steps until you see a steady stream of fluid traveling through the tubing on the slave nip. once you there are no bubbles of air in your bleeding tubing and the pedal is stiff and retracts by itself you are done. top off your fluid and your ready to go.

No carburetor on that 89 S10. It would be throttle body fuel injected.
I have an 89 s10 with a 2.8 V6. It gets about 22 city, 25 highway.
