FIXED!! it was the slave cylinder! one of those rare cases I guess whhhere no leaking was present but the piston just was not coming out and retracting right, very weak! so we put a new slave and clutch master in! brand new fresh fluid and it is noise free!!! master cyl, slave and fluid...grand total: 24 dollars. hooked up on good pricing. thanks for all the replies!

 

Hey 95, would you look a this and tell me if that's the same as your truck? We decided in this thread that it's likely normal, but maybe not? I guess I need somebody to push in the pedal, instead of me pushing the fork a direction it normally wouldn't go from under the truck?

I already ordered my t-case rebuild kit so I'm going to do that either way, but if I put it all back together and my noise is still there, I'll try this before I blame the tranny and push the truck off a cliff

 

dude, sounds like same thing my slave cyl was doing, very sluggish and not responsive. the new one is fast and forcefull and I get no sound or wiggling now. replace the slave its like 10 bucks

 

Alright, I'll look into it. It's pretty much brand new...but that doesn't mean anything. I'll have somebody actually push the clutch pedal and see how it responds first, but I may end up replacing the cylinder again. Thanks.

 

yeah it could be defective. my stock one would hold tight sometimes then release causing no tension and a wiggling fork
