I’ve got a ‘99 K3500. Just got it back from having the transmission gone through. New bearings, synchros and input shaft.
While it was out went ahead and put a clutch in it, went with LUK.
I’ve only put maybe 50 miles on it at most since everything is back together and driving.
Here’s the problem...The clutch lets out super low. I’m having problems getting into gear initially, mainly 1st/2nd (low first) and reverse. Seems to shift through the gears pretty good cruising, but maybe catches third a fuzz.
I thought maybe things needed to break in a fuzz, but it seems like on hills with the clutch pressed I can feel it still pushing a little. Maybe I’m crazy.
it really feels like I need more pedal to push.
I feel like I’ve been all over this truck and know it well, but have never done anything with the slave cylinder. Do these things have a magic adjustment somewhere? I don’t see anything on the pedal. Is it time for a new one? Am I just missing something.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dylan.
