Browning Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 did u make sure the clutch disk slides on the input shaft? ive seen it a hundred times before, brand new clutch kits not being splined right everything is right. Had to have been an error on my part. Left last night to go get something to eat and I guess my moms b/f and his brother came over and tossed it in while I was gone. Still haven't went out to look at it though. Hope the thowout bearing is set right. Not sure if I'm going to be able to tell or not by looking through the little slave cylinder window or not.

Browning Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 another question. I bled the clutch 4 times ie. push 3 times hold on the last. Truck moves and everything but grinds a tad in 5th and more in reverse. Reverse grinds pretty good. Should I bleed it some more or assume the synchros are bad?

Guest Removed Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 if its working fine in the first 4 gears, then you may have a synchro issue. but also keep in mind 5th and reverse dont have synchros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had it on the street yet, just up and down the driveway. Days prior to my clutch breaking reverse was grinding a little. 5th seemed a little too easy to get into but it didn't grind.

Guest Removed Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 drive it....shifting into 5th in the driveway means nothing. and try going from 1st to reverse..input shaft could still be spinning due to the new clutch being nice and tight.

Browning Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Drove it down the road today. Everything seems to be good except the grinding in reverse. Don't think it's an air in the line, I'm thinking it's the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 make sure to leave the trans in gear, and to turn the engine over some, by the crank bolt to help line the input into the clutch disc +1 get a friend to slowly spin the crank... that helps a TON.... Also make sure your clutch is aligned right. whoever said to take longer bolts to help pull it in is a HORRIBLE idea unless you want to tear up your transmission. **EDIT: NVM, looks like you have it in...
