Hey guys,
So as the title says, the problem with my Transmission is that the Slave Cylinder won't engage the Pressure Plate fingers enough to free up the Clutch. Well here are all the details to where we're at now.
First off, my old transmission pooped out so we got a rebuilt one and put it in. Truck ran great for about a couple weeks, then it just wouldn't allow me to shift into gear. Well I am able to shut the truck off and shift into all gears but I can't shift while it's running. So put her on the lift, and took the trans out. Replaced the Slave Cylinder, Master Cylinder, Throwout Bearing, Clutch, and Pressure Plate. Followed the proper bleeding instructions, and did both a bench bleed and bled the line from the master down to the slave. Truck still will not allow me to shift into gear while it's on.
Now to today, I'm not sure what else could be causing the problem, but I went out and bought a new Hydraulic Clutch Line (figure the old one my have some debris or blockage in it) since that's about the only thing we never changed. The reason I think this may help, in my mind, is that if there is some blockage in the line, yea fluid will get through (enough to push the Slave Cylinder out) but not enough for it to fully engage. I'm honestly hoping that this will solve our problem, considering the system has been bled multiple times and my grandfather has even talked to professionals from Perfection Clutch.
So if anyone has any helpful tips or any insight on this problem I seem to be having, I greatly appreciate you're help and advice. Thanks and I hope I get to get my truck back... I miss her... :/ haha lol
