turbotyla Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Ok so driving home tonight and my truck didnt want to shift. So i almost didnt get home. the truck will not turn off when i remove the key now. and if i am sitting still and press the clutch all the way down it does not disengage my clutch all the way does some but it will not enouph for it to go in gear. Do we have cable or hydrolic clutches. Really need help this is my daily driver. could it just be fluid the pedal pushes down really easy. Had to speed shift all the way home and when i stopped i was screwed luckily i turned off and went down hill so i could speed shift it. All the help is greatly appriciated.

BLHTAZ Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 You post a question at nearly midnight and then wonder why no responses at nearly 3:00AM... :rotf: The clutch is hydraulic. Open the master cylinder and see if there is fluid in there. If not, fill it up with brake fluid, put the cap back on and pump the pedal a few times and hopefully it will come back to life. If it does, then you need to find out where you are losing the fluid from. I had the same issue and had to replace the slave cylinder. I ran it that way for a few months just keeping a bottle of fluid in the truck at all times and had to teach the wife how to do it too in caase she was out alone and it happended ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 You post a question at nearly midnight and then wonder why no responses at nearly 3:00AM... :rotf: Ah, yea, I don't think anyone is one this channel 24/7 :hmm: Well........maybe a couple of people :roll: And Taz's info is what your looking for..........Check under the truck, front of the bell housing for fluid leaking out, good chance your internal slave has bit the dust. Check under the dash, above the fuse box, on the firewall for any fluid leaking out of the back side of master cylinder. And that will give you an idea what happen to the clutch.

BLHTAZ Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 You better hope that it gives out when you are not in traffic. If it stops working all together while you are in motion...the results could be quite messy :eek: :smart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I have never heard of a "slave kit" :dunno: I would not risk it...especially with the internal slave that requires removal of the tranny to get to. Buy the slave through a dealership, not an aftermarket source. I tried the afternarket thing...and like many others, I was very disappointed to find that I had to buy another from the dealer to get a good one.

turbotyla Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well i wasnt really going "aftermarket" it was just the local parts house. don't think it would be an upgrade or anything. and its the boots and the springs and stuff to rebuild it. but once again you guys no more than my i am an automatic guy never messed with a stick. drove them just never messed with em. And another thing you say you h ave to remove the tranny to replace it? i was looking at it and it looked like i could take two rear bolts and slide it out. But that was just a peak and i have not done so before so your probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I was ASSuming that you have the internal slave like most of us. If you have an external (5" long cylinder mounted on the lower left of the tranny), then it is an easy change by just removing the two bolts/nuts as you have said :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
