Having a little trouble with my 93 pickup v6 shifting while im wheeling. Yesterday I went wheeling and after about 20 mins of engaging and disengaging 4wd my shifting began getting worse. It would start grinding and getting difficult to put into gear. Once I was done having fun I hopped on the road and made my way back home and noticed the problems with shifting were gonna almost immediately.

Is this something with the clutch or tranny? I believe this is the stock clutch and am running MT90 in the tranny. Any ideas on what this could be?

 

have u checked the clutch to see is u might have a little air in the line and causing it too bind a little when u are going in and out so much. also where you going into 4lo or just 4hi? it could also be just binding up a little when going from 2wd to 4wd if u where still rolling when u did it,

 

Havent checked the lines yet. How do I check for air?
I was just in 4hi
The shifting was bad even after driving in 2wd for 5 minutes or so

 

so when u did try and shift did u push in the clutch and shift or come to a stop and shift? to check for air just have someone help and bleed the clutch a little and see if u get any air out the bleeder on the slave cylinder.

 

start with basics. fluid level/condition.

when i got my truck tcase and trans were full of milk.
shifted a lot better after i changed that for oil

 

Are you shifting your tcase according to instructions in the owner's manual? FSM? Or just whatever? On level ground? At a complete stop?

:wabbit2:

 

Yeah ill have to check on the fluid. Ill probably change it out since im guessing its at least 4+ years old.

I believe im shifting the tcase properly. If I remember correctly your suppose to change into 4hi going under 5mph then changing into 2hi going under 50mph which is what I was doing.
I wasnt always on level ground though. Does this make a difference?
