is that only from a start or also up ship down shift?

Is the clutch releasing? I'd bet not. Place the rearend on jacktands and try starting it in gear and see what happens when the brake is applied with the pedal depressed. I'm guessing that hydraulics went south. Just my . 02.

OR----Pilot bearing getting tired.

Yes its mainly from start up,I forgot to mention Its also tough to find reverse.

I will also try to do as you suggested NDaniels.

Pilot bearing? I will get that checked.



Thanks.

Brian.

if itf from a start its more than kikely pilot bearing or clutch is not fully disengaging. there is still a small chance it is an internal transmission problem. imsure you checked fluuid level

Mine was always tough to get into reverse and first, the pilot bearing was worn. Also, the stock hydraulics were too weak for the new clutch, so on mine it was probably a combination of the two.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I will take it into the transmission shop for inspection. When I get an answer I will post the results.

Thanks again.
