Ok so last week i did a motor swap in my 88 pickup. I replaced the clutch myself and i did the swap. But the problem is the truck is park and i have it in gear so it wont roll. but sometimes when i put it in gear, i cant shift out of gear is lock into the gear. its done that in 1st and in reverse. I have no clue what to do. Plz help

was this a Marlin clutch??   if so  you must make the rod between the slave cylinder  and the clutch fork as long as possible
or  if its not adjustable  make one 1/4 inch longer

have you bled the clutch? adjusted pedal freeplay?

i had an engagement issue with my truck... i just tightened the bolt [actually pushrod into the master cylinder] behind the pedal and it did the trick

[JohnHalladay [OP]]

no its not a marlin clutch

[JohnHalladay [OP]]

no i havnt bled it yet. ill do that 2marrow and ajust the pedal and see if that works. ill keep you updated.

[jimbo74]

bleeding and adjusting should be done with any clutch replacement
