So I just got done rebuilding my 3.0 v6 and installed a new clutch etc. I dropped the motor back in and hooked it up to my tyranny and everything it started right up and is running great. However, now it's a pain in the ass to shift! I get going and I have to really pull and force into gears. I've even gotten stuck in reverse and had to turn my truck off to get it into neutral again. My clutch is to the floor when I shift too. What's going on? Why isn't it working right now?

Sounds like you need to bleed the clutch.

X2. Did you happen to buy a new slave cylinder and/or clutch master cylinder?

Dustin Egle

No I didn't replace the slave or the master, just the clutch, pressure plate, and the bearing and flywheel

Could the clutch disk have been installed backwards?

Dustin Egle

No I got it in right, did it with a professional mechanic at his shop *my cousin*

When you removed your shifter did you observe the condition of the shifter seat bushings? They tend to disintegrate in place. Perhaps a chunk or two are mechanically interfering with the shifter?

Try bleeding your slave. To me, stuck in gear means the clutch isn't disengaging properly. Clutch to the floor also sounds like the hydraulics need bleeding.

Bleeding helped it! Thanks guys! Means a lot!

Glad you got it fixed. Now you owe us pictures.

Once I find out how to post pics, I will do that
