when i am in 4th gear and accelerating up a hill, the clutch slips and the engine revs. should i check the hydraulic master cyl and the slave cyl.? any ideas?

 

sound like the clutch is goin out

 

well ya the clutch is going out. any ideas to stretch it out a little? i have a bad back right now and i dont feel like lifting a tranny any time soon..haha.

 

Dont use the floor pedal all the way to left, that should help it until your back heals up.

Most likely in the clutch disc were the plate has worn below the rivets, if its slippin and revin up, so I would imagine you would just have to replace it.

Remember to get the flywheel turned too! (just a thing I do).

 

You can get a GREAT H/D clutch (1600 lb - nearly double the pressure) & flywheel from MarlinCrawler for about $300 if I remember correctly. They work great.

 

Sounds like your clutch is worn out. The master and slave won't have any effect on the clamping force of the clutch. The only way they could be at fault is if they are sticking but that is highly unlikely. Look on the bright side, Marlin clutches are on sale until tomorrow. They are a great deal at 25% off. http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/tra...ion/clutch.htm

 

thanks guys. i am new to toyota so obviously it was a dumb ?. ive changed clutches before. so theres no problem there. thanks again.

 

You clutch is wore out or your trans input seal is leaking. Make sure that the seal is not leaking before you put a new clutch back in.

 

ok so i just in a new clutch. i'm am having the hardest time getting the input shaft to slide in. i have tried pretty much everything to make it work. any ideas?

 

Did you use an alignment tool to line up the disk? That input shaft can be a huge PITA, the tranny really has to be going in exactly straight and level or it isnt fun. If you have used the alignment tool and lined it up and you cant get it to go in i would keep messing with it through all angles and heights to see if you can at least get it started, you might also want to pull the tranny back and rotate the input shaft then try again in case those splines werent lining up for some reason. Once you get it most of the way in you will typically find that the last couple inches are the real pain. For mine the first time i was doing it i got so sick of it i just put the high lift jack base against the Tcase and hooked the lift part on the rear crossmember and popped it in easily that way, but i wouldnt recomend that unless you have only an inch or so left to go because you could damage the new disk or pressure plate that way.

Although they are great clutches, I would not reccomend this for street driving. I installed one in my 87, and its a major PITA to drive. LOTS of pressure required to push in the clutch.

 

OOOFFFF... that hurts... not a good idea!!!!

 

i've got a bolt in at the top of the bell-housing. i've been putting bolts on either side and pulling the tranny in but doesnt seem to be working much. ive tried all angles and wigglin it while pushing it in and still doesnt work.
