ZF-6 shifting issues
I've been having some problems lately shifting. After the truck warms up, third and fourth are difficult to select. I also noticed that my clutch engage point is about 3" off the floor. Alittle lower than when cold. I've changed the fluid, no help. I use Mobil 1 synthetic ATF fluid. I know I have 300k(almost) on the truck, hopefully it isn't the tranny going up. Any suggestions??

Possibly.....I would recommend you shore up the clutch hydraulics first as I believe that is the most likely cause.
2C3Z-7C522-CA was the part number for the complete hydraulic system last time I bought it (01/17/04). Listed for 131.10

i'm thinking its probably the hydraulics but since we're on this subject i have close to the same problem but its only if the engines at/or above 2500rpm i have problems shifting all gears and the clutch will only disenage when pushed to the floor and will reenage about as soon as you let up my truck only has 110000 miles on it

If the fork does bend to the point of breakage it can take out the whole enchilada. It happened to a friend of mine. Yes, you are in for some money. If the clutch is ok then you can get away with about 200 to 250 in parts for a NEW KEVLAR PILOT BUSHING, new fork, and new master/slave pre bled unit. If you need a new clutch you can expect another 600 for a LUK or South Bend.
