the clutch on my pickup went out rather quickly.
the last time I drove it I had to pull over and stop to get it into gear.
now I cannot get it into gear If the truck is running (goes in if engine is stopped)
but if I put it in gear with the engine off, then I cannot start it(even with the pedal depressed)
the clutch pedal has no effect if the engine is running.
I changed the gear oil in the transmission/gearbox
I pressed on the lever that the clutch linkage presses on that goes into the gearbox
with a 2x4 and it still would not go into gear so I do not think it is a clutch pedal adjustment.
I have clutches wear out before where they slip, but this is the opposite problem (not releasing) instead.
what am I likely to find?
did the clutch springs break?
If I drop the gearbox and fix the clutch, will I be able to replace some seals to make it less leaky?
I have already done the engine and rear end so at that point everything will stop leaking and stay clean, yay!
thanks for the help
bandit, I pressed on the lever that is pushed on by the clutch pedal. I pressed it hard, as far as it would go. this did not activate the clutch, the gears were still engaged.
this is why I think it is not an adjustment problem.
besides, if the clutch got worn from use then the clutch would slip, not grab
