Good morning everyone!!! Well here it is I just put a new slave cylinder in my 02' F-150 and once we figured out all the little issues we were having we finally got the truck to fire up!!! Now my problem is that when the truck is running I can't get the truck into gear with the clutch pushed and it doesn't even grind. But when the truck is off it goes through the gears no problem what so ever. When we did the slave cylinder while we were in there we just replaced everything clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, rear seal, and pilot bearing. We figured that since all the shops were quoting me 800 and up for just doing the slave that since were in there we might as well do everything since nothing has ever been replaced yet. My question is why will the truck not let me shift into gears when running but no problem when off. Oh and yes the system was bled after doing the slave actually twice so far. Thanks in advance everyone!!!

 

Sounds to me like it is not bled properly
Did you do the procedure as outlined in a Haynes manual
or alike?
It is a little different than bleeding brakes.

 

Yes we did do it properly but now we're talking about possibly power bleeding the system to completely eliminate the air all together.

 

I see
There are some videos on you tube of guys having problems bleeding these things
I have had pretty good luck with them I guess
Good luck
Keep us posted
