    I appreciate the info. Seems we both have 2-3 leafs unclamped. Your bottom ones are nice and tight. My bottom unclamped ones are fanned out and separated quite a bit.

    Please help!!! Clutch/Tranny Issues

    Ok. I got it all figured out. Thank goodness I didn't have to tear everything down. For future readers, here is my fix to both my problems. 1. It wouldn't shift because when I took shifter out I read somewhere to have halfway in reverse. That is only for taking top plate off, not shifter. (Put...

    Please help!!! Clutch/Tranny Issues

    I think the clutch needs bled again but this time correctly. I guess I have to remove slave and tilt then bleed. For the shifter, I am thinking the shifter alignment is off. I see the first slot is off. I think that's reverse? Anyway, I am unsure if I bring the far left one up to meet the...

    Please help!!! Clutch/Tranny Issues

    I'll check. I just hate to have to pull everything back down. :-(. Also, when I pushed in clutch for first time after it was installed, there was pressure and then all of a sudden, I heard a clunk and now I am having the problems as stated in 1st message. I just thought of that and didn't...

    Please help!!! Clutch/Tranny Issues

    No, he didn't test anything. Really it's on me cause it was a friend doing it, who is also a mechanic, for free. Just won't go into any gear and clutch pedal can be pushed in with about quarter pound of pressure

    Clunk front pass

    Hello guys. I have 1 ton axles and when I turn left I get a clunking noise coming from passenger front. It almost sounds as if a tire with big tread is rubbing on a running board but I have PLENTY of clearance so that's not the problem. It only seems to do it when I turn left. Someone suggested...
