where do i check my gear oil in my truck. something in my clutch system is messed up i dont think it has been releasing properly and now it is makin this harsh sound and i think im low on gear oil

 

let me get this straight, you think something in your clutch is messed up which led to your front/rear differential/transfercase and/or transmission gear oil to be low?

My thinking on this is low gear oil leads to harsh sounds which is not repairable by adding gear oil. That's like adding more gun powder to an already blow up grenade. It's pointless as there is no grenade left.

but you can learn how to check all of your fluids by clicking on this link

First I'd look under the truck, not in it....

 

tthanks man. and you just use reg. dot three in thclutch for fluid right like in the master?

 

Yes....or whatever manual says.....

 

thats a big 10-4

 

so by saying gear oil you are talking about clutch fluid ???

 

of course

 

so that harsh sound is more like a grinding gear sound than a clunking gear sound. Kind of like if you didn't have the clutch in all the way while trying to shift gears unlike when you blow up a differential and it makes this horrible clunking sound. I think I got it now.

 

no its not a grinding sound like when youdont have the pedal in all the way. and i was talkin about clutch fluid and gear oil as two different things

 

 

i just want to know to post
