clutch question
Replaced the clutch about 20,000 miles ago. Driving home one day last week I noticed it was gettting difficult to put into second gear. The next morning as I was driving to work I noticed the same. When. I stopped to pick up a Co worker and as I went to pull away I cudnt even get it into gear. Clutch is hard to push as it was from the day I installed the new one. Pedal Dosent seem to go down as far as it used to. Is this clutch shot or cud it be my clutch master cylinder. What are the symptoms of a bad master cylinder. Any info wud be great.

Check fluid in the master, but i doubt its the clutch.
IIRC, there should be .75inches of movement in the slave rod.
Have somebody push and see whats happening.
You cannot do it yourself, I've tried. haha.

As soon as I get back into town to get the truck I will get the fluid I'm sure there will be someone in town to help push the slave rod. Second gear is the only one I noticed. I'm not sure if it will shift through the other gears or not as I can't even get it in gear to take off. Thanks for the advice. Will keep you updated when I get it home later today

I had a customer that had a very similar problem. it turned out to be the clutch disc broke and the springs were between the diaphragm and disc not allowing the clutch to release.
so having said that what clutch was recently installed? a good one or a cheep one?
