This is my 1st manual, I wouldn't really know.The truck had a bad fuel pump which I had changed it and it ran good and strong. My pops drove it out the garage and back in to have the engine towards us as we had it backed in because we did the back frame/gas tank. He said the clutch felt sticky or loose I can't remember. Took the engine out to replace a lot of parts as they are 30 years old. We didn't touch anything internally or the timing belt either. The original owner has had the timing belt changed there was a receipt in the glove box I can't remember the year. I'll look for it. I bought the truck last year and haven't driven it before all this. How would I go about checking the clutch?
Yes I am. My dad is helping me also, he knows how to drive a manual. I asked him if the clutch is releasing properly and he said he thinks so but isn't 100% sure. Tomorrow he's gonna try and turn it by hand.
I just called him to tell him this but he's already did so. He told me he took the starter off to take it to AutoZone to get it tested which they said it was good. The guy there said to take the oil cap off to see if the rocker arms are moving. He said the engine started after removing the oil cap, but it has high idle.
