1987 Chevrolet V20 with an SM465 I believe, L123R gears, it’s got hydraulic clutch and I’ve replaced the slave cylinder twice in the last year and a half. Today after I changed my headlight dimmer switch and door jamb switches I had the truck in low just pulling back to where I usually park it since I had it closer to the house to vacuum it. Anyways, I couldn’t pull the truck out of low, it always grinds a little bit going into low and reverse but that’s because they aren’t synced? But why would I not be able to pull it back out of gear? I’ve had it happen a few times where I couldn’t put it in first, I’d be sitting at a stop in neutral and go to put it in first and it would drop down once but wouldn’t drop the second portion into the gear, kinda like it meshed once but didn’t fully go in. If I started letting out on the clutch pedal it would grind and throw it out of gear and I’d have to stick it back in first. Never happened a whole lot so never concerned too much. Big question is, is my slave cylinder going out again? I’ve replaced the slave twice, master once, and the line between them once. Why does my slave cylinder only last 6 months? The truck has got maybe 3200 miles on it in the year and a half I’ve drove it. I’ve never drove it more than maybe 15 miles in one direction.
