'86 4x4 Mystery Clutch Behavior
« on: Dec 11, 2005, 06:35:13 AM »
Hope someone has an idea, because I'm stumped.  Here goes...
I was plowing on Friday when I heard a bang and then my clutch wouldn't engage.
I climbed out of my truck, popped the hood and inspectend the master cylinder, fluid level was good, no leaks.
I slid under the truck, got snow down my neck, and looked at the slave.
The slave looked fine, no leaks, but the push rod was retracted further than usual.
I slid out, wedged the clutch pedal down and checked the slave again.
The push rod extended about a 1/2" which is about half it's normal travel.
My buddy showed up, and he pushed my truck out of the way.
The action on pushing the truck realigned what ever it was that was out of wack, because I Had clutch again.
Slave cylinder travel was back to normal and the clutch release fork was in the correct position.
Would retracting the fork further that normal cause the clutch to dis-engage and how could the fork even be pulled back as far as it was.
I just can get a grip on why the truck acted the way it did.
Same thing happened again on Saturday.
