New clutch problems
96 f150 4x4 300 5 speed 200000 miles.
Pulled transmission to replace slave cylinder. Replaced the original; clutch at the same time.
Did the work about 1000 miles ago. all of a suden the clutch wont disingage to shift. I have to start the truck in 1st then shift with out using the clutch. when i push in the clutch i hear a swishing and grinding sound. Like sand paper in metal . There is plenty of fluid in the master cylinder and the clutch pedal is tight. But when i push in the clutch pedal it wont disingage the clutch to let me shift.
Is there a simple fix or do i have to drop the trany and transfer to check things out? the throwout beaqring is part of the slave cylinder so it is new too.
Thanks,
Steve

> is there a simple fix
Have you checked the fluid level in the transmission and transfer case?
Try bleeding the slave.
Did you remove the pilot bearing and replace it with a new one and grease it well?
Look for missing transmission and transfer case bolts that are allowing the assembly to get cocked to one side. Just put a socket (3/4'"?) on each bolt and make sure they are still snugged down.
