Randy mckinney Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Replaced tranny (8ll) with reman and used old clutch against my better judgement the driver said every thing was great two weeks later he said clutch has no free play and when u push clutch to shift the rpms never change and it wont come out of gear i havent looked at truck yet my self just lookin for some pointers in my thinking if i adjust clutch to get proper free play it will not help the the release problem Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35384-clutch-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Sounds like yer clutch shit the bed. I'd yank it and send it out to be reman. What kinda truck? Make/Model of tranny & clutch? Let this be a learning experience.....Never install a used component that is a critical part of the drive line. My father always used to say "Putting in a used part is like having sex with a lot lizard- sure it might work and it might be ok, but you never know what might happen or what you are getting after the fact." It's OK to buy a used component but always get them rebuilt/reman!!!!

MACKS Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Possible cable failed or external adjustment, get under there and see whats going on when someone depress the pedal.
