Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Something is wrong with my truck! I was showing off to a friend yesterday so he could hear my new exhaust. I went from about a 5 mph roll and went WOT through 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, then let off the throttle and went to press the clutch in. I felt and heard a small clunk on the pedal and it went further to the floor. I lost some pedal pressure, so I figured it was a clutch slave or master problem. Then I tried to get it into gear and it would not go into any gear. Again a slave or master problem popped into my head. So with the momentum I had, I wanted to make it into a parking spot at some apartments so flew into them and went to park. I pressed on the pedal a few times and it did not feel the like I was used to. It had a much lighter presser. I let the truck sit for a few minutes and I was able to get it into gear. I did smell clutch when I popped the hood. I let it cool down for about 10 minutes and started it back up. Pedal still felt slighter. I checked the clutch fluid and it was full and clean. I was able to get it into gear and babied it back to my gf's apartment.
I can now get it into any gear, 4th and 5th are kinda rough along with reverse, but it will go. In 2nd gear and reverse starting from a roll i feel a rough vibration until the truck gets up to about 5 mph. THe vibration is pretty sever and noisy, almost like a driveshaft clunking around. once it gets moving, it is smooth and works great. I am leaning towards a pressure plate or clutch disc along with a slave or master. I just don't know how they failed all at once. Or perhaps it could be a throw out bearing. Could this be a clutch problem or slave and master problem? With the vibration I am leaning towards the clutch. The truck has 57,000 thousand miles on it, only mods are a 5" exhaust. 01 4x4 6 speed q/c. Any sugggestions would be appreciated.
