ZF6 Clutch Issues...
i think i broke my clutch fork or throwout bearing. No bad sounding noises have developed yet but truck creeps in gear with clutch peddle fully depressed and is nearly impossible to get in first or reverse to start from a stop. i have to upshift and downshift matching RPM and Speed perfectly. i pulled the slave out of the trans and the plastic cap is still there. a measurement from clutch fork to outside of trans was 2 7/16 inches. should the clutch fork flop around easily up and down and front to back?? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Mine ended up being a cracked syncromesh gear and worn out clutch. But ultimately the cracked syncro was the hard shifting problem.
Search for a post that I started about my transmission troubles. I think I included pictures of the crack and other carnage...

Look at these links. This is a broken fork but you will not have any pedal. The old and new pic was posted by one of the other great members on this site.

If your fork is bent, it's not bent enough to cause the problems you're seeing.
How does the pedal feel? Is the fluid in thy hydraulics full? Is there a chance your firewall is cracked or weak and the firewall is flexing at the master and not allowing the slave to extend far enough?

Does this picture show a good or bad fork measurement? Is there any official measurement that will tell me if mine is bent? I'm probably going to drop the transmission in mine but i was curious if a measurement like this would give me an indication. Mine shifts fine when it is cold but after a good highway drive or hauling anything it gets warmed up and then is hard to shift into gears. We already replaced the master/slave with a prebled unit and that didn't help.
