Clutch problem

I have a Ford 801 Power master thats worked fine for years . All of a sudden when I press in the clutch the engine wants to die . I can have it running with it in neutral and push in the clutch and it will do the same . If its not running at higher than an idle speed the engine will die . Any thoughts ???
 
Frozen throw out bearing would be my first guess. Does it make noise? What transmission does it have? Jim
 
Thats the crazy thing....it does not make a noise , all you can hear is the engine start to drag like its under a load when you press the clutch pedal . You have to rev it up pretty good to keep it from dying . Dont know the type of transmission it is . How could I tell ?
 
Could be the engine thrust bearing is worn out or gone, thrusting the crankshaft forward. I have seen this happen at least six times in my career.
 
Tell us how many gears and the shift pattern. Another idea is that the wiring is being affected by the pedal or linkage causing a short or open in the ignition wiring. Just thinking out loud. Jim
 
5 speed trans. The shifter moves up and down, 3rd and reverse is up , 1st and 2nd is in the middle and 4th and 5th are down . I really dont think any wiring is being affected , there is none around the linkage. Thanks !
 
I am not a guru on the Fords, so if there is no inspection cover, it is probably a split to fix. Jim
