went to leave work this morning let out on the clutch and started going then SNAP and hear/feel large banging...then it happend every other time i let go of the clutch for first gear...thank god i know how to drive without the clutch otherwise it could have been an expensive trip home...


needed to vent sorry

 

Is it the clutch you knocked out or first gear? What're your plans now?

 

pretty sure it's the clutch...still drives in first...it only happend when i used the clutch like going from first to second with the clutch...but when i just shifted from first to second without the clutch it was fine

i'm not power shifting btw i'm syncro matching

EDIT: I have no idea what i'm doin yet...i just got my girlfriend an engagement ring which isn't yet paid for...so yeah...everything's goin down the crapper real fast i can only imagine what's next...

on the brighter side i did get free tickets to tomorrow nights playoff game 6 between yankees & angels & i'm a huge yankee fan so maybe that'll go well & the yankees will clinch

 

It's a sign, don't get married! Or take the tix, sell them and pay for a new clutch and pressure plate

 

i understand syncro matching, i did it alot after my recent toe injury, but how do you get it in gear from a stop without the clutch?

 

Perhaps he shut it off........ I've had to do that before

 

No the clutch still functions but when I let out on it the truck jolts and it feels like the motor is seperating from the tranny so I either cracked the clutch and it's still in place or my TOB popped out idk

 

Sounds like something went with the clutch...check and make sure that the bracket that houses the clutch pedal didn't break either.

Sorry that the game got rained out...do you get to go on Sunday, or is the rain date Monday? I know that there's a game Monday now, if necessary, just not sure how they moved the dates around. "Lets Go Yankees!"

 

the tickets are still good for tonight but i have work so i can't go...i'm actually not sure that it is the clutch...it still goes in & comes out of gear and the clutch pedal is still mounted up high & the clutch still grabs fine i'm starting to think it's something inside the tranny...idk i'm takin it to a shop tomorrow....there goes my paycheck.....

 

Does the problem only happen in first gear...could be something wrong there...
