    I assume the ''Dogs'' in the flywheel were positioned correctly, with the little tool that lines them up..

    I have worked on many trucks with messed up clutch adjustments and sloppy linkages and so on.. The ones that weren't totally broken, were still drivable, if only into the shop.. This is one, were, I wish I was there to see the issue happen.. With the info we have, I am leaning towards improper clutch parts and/or installation..

    im sorry about my slow understanding.. I think you say when its in gear and you start it, with clutch pedal pushed it is still in gear? sorry bud, but that sounds like the clutch discs are installed wrong.. Maybe mechohaulic will see this and bring the light..

    You Go Boy !!

    does it act 'a-fool' in neutral? Im a little bit lost.. if the clutch fork is pulling the throw out bearing, then you should be able to start the engine with ease... sorry Bud,, i'm not adding this up very well..
  6. Joey Mack
    Can you put it in Low gear and start it, then drive it to see if it will break free? You did say the clutch discs are in correctly.. can you get under there and look at the clutch fork movement with some one pushing/pumping the clutch? (engine Off)...

    Auto to stick...

    well, at least with the 13 spd. you can get up to about 60+ MPH.. Is it a dump truck or roll off, ?? tractor??
  9. Joey Mack
    Sorry Bud... Thats all I got... if the engine would run above 1400,on up to gov. speed I would say install starter button until you find the issue.. I had a deleted MP-7 that gave trouble in many ways, and the ignition didnt start the truck. I put a starter button in it and it worked fine. It was a homemade dump truck that a crop farmer had.. his was a manual trans. though.. I wish I could help.. Jojo

    Pull fuse 71 out of the EPDM and see what happens.. that is the Allison fuse.. can you jump the little relay on the starter to turn it over?

    if you unplug it,,, what happens?? also, have you checked the wires going into the cab for cracks and chaffing?
  14. Joey Mack
    Do the headlight wires run behind the oil filters? If so, check there, especially at the wire clamps bolted to the engine.

    It makes for a smooth rotation in the joint. If ujoints are straight on,, the bearings won't rotate, and that will cause Brinelling...

    I always suggest checking the Duetch plug at the injection pump. Those pins can come loose in side.. also check for bad wires on the truck side of the harness..
  17. Joey Mack
    when you get it apart you can bench test it. look closely at the sliding clutch and clutching teeth on the outer cam drum also.. you dont need to use high air pressure to actuate the shift fork and clutch, it can fly out..
  18. Joey Mack
    can you rotate the yoke back and forth to dissengage the 'peanuts' in the power divider?
  19. Joey Mack
    you should be able to leave the power divider drum in place, and pull the shifter section out by itself.. what makes you think it needs inspecting??
  20. Joey Mack
    The metal plate they are part of comes right out of the rubber bolster.. I have seen that dozens of times..

    box rubbers!! Atro makes a decent affordable kit, with the bolts.. You may want to get 12 more washers.. if you like washers on both sides of the bolt.. and put twinkies in the boxes too... jojo
  22. Joey Mack
    have you looked at the torque arm bushings, and the box rubbers, as well as any wear on the spring tips in the boxes? they should not touch the boxes anywhere.. if the upper pads are worn out badly, you will be able to wiggle them without jacking the truck up.. and of course there is always the trunnion bushings too.. but lets keep it basic..

    Here is a tool I made about 10 years or so, ago.. I needed to diagnose tire wear on a truck that was in a minor wreck. I made this tool to measure the distance between the drive axles to see how far off they were.. Its ugly, but it works and I will still use it today if needed.. I basically made 2 sliding pointers with clamp bolts, and slipped them over some wire conduit.. i sharpened the tips of the pointers so they would fit good into the dimples on the axle flanges..

    Camel back or Hendrickson HN or Walking beam rear suspension??
