Well I'm about to get a truck back that I had sold some family members. It's a 1995 gmc 1500 2wd short bed( I know it's not a square but hopefully you guys can still help). I put a new TBI 350 in it and it's a factory 5 speed truck. I'm guessing it has a NV4500 but I'm really not sure on what the trans is. I put a new clutch in the truck about 2 years ago and shortly after the truck started getting hard to shift. When it gets warm the problem gets terrible. It's like the hydraulic clutch isn't engaging all the way or something. When I replaced the clutch I noticed the arm the throw out bearing sits in was stress cracked inside the area where it pivots on the little pivot ball. I welded it up and got it back to working order.
Anyway where do you guys think I should start looking for the issue at?? Could the arm I welded be screwed up not letting it engage or is it the slave cylinder or something since it seems to get worse as it gets to normal operating temp?? I have little to no experience with hydraulic clutches so any ensight would be great. Thanks a lot guys.
