1993 4.0 5-Spd 2wd.

When you some to a stop, and the clutch is in and you are in first gear, when you go to put the trans in neutral, there is resistance almost as if you have the clutch partially out, the shifter "pops" out of first when you pull hard on it.

i have replaced the clutch, slave cylinder, clutch master clynder and trans fluid and it is still the same. the clutch is disengaging fully because when it is having these symptoms i can jack up the rear of the truck and the rear wheels do not move and i can turn the driveshaft forward or backward when someone is in the truck with the clutch in.

any ideas?

 

try some synchromesh in it, mine was doing that but it was grinding when i would shift gears.

ok ill try that. ive heard about that before

 

mine had cheap murrays atf fluid in it before i switched to synchromesh.

i think that might have had something todo with it.


its worth a shot, my guess is the syncros are sticking.

 

on this truck, when i changed it last (the first time it was changed in 108k) it was black

 

thats not good, mine wasn't that bad the first time i changed it around 120k.

maybe the insides are gummed up, was there alot of metal on the drain magnet?

 

Factory recomends that you change it a 60k. it's comming up on mine and I'm gonna use either Aamsoil or Royal Purple. With something like that, cost is not object, as it is a long term mainantence, and the life of your tranny depends on it.

 

there was not alot of metal on the magnet. i didnt neglect this truck johnbaum13, i changed the fluid the day i brought it home. i changed it in my 98 ranger at 148k for the first time when i got it and it wasnt as dirty as my dads 93. ill keep changing it and see if it gets better. it sure beats taking the trans out again to look inside

 

anyone else have ideas before i pull the tranny to replace the slave again?

 

Try bleeding the slave again. Maurice's Bronco II was like that and the more we blead it the better it got.

 

i might try it again. ive bled it atleast 5 times so far though

 

Did you ever try the Synchromesh?

 

I didnt try the synchromesh because when i have the truck in the air, the rear wheels slowly turn, leading me to beleive it isnt in the trans, but in the clutch

 

Gotcha, I was just looking to see if it would work for my own situation. Sorry I can't be of any help to ya.

 

its simple, there is air in the clutch line, they all do it if u dont bleed the holy **** out of it, ive gone through 2 quarts of brake fluid beelding in the past to get ALL the air out of my clutch, because of the design of the master while it is on the truck it is near impossible to remove all air from the system

 

ive bled about a gallon through it with the truck nose up, so the master is level, and still no luck. im gonna replace the hydraulic like bc it may be sucking in air with the original o rings on it
