i did a clutch master on my 84 pickup a while back. it has been installed and adjusted, then bled thoughly. recently it seems its getting tough to put it into gear. the clutch has low miles on it, as that was installed during my recent motor swap. if i slow down with the clutch pressed it will go in and out of all the gears properly. if i release the clutch then push it in again, it will require a little playing to put it back into gear. the tranny makes no wierd noises. the strangest thing of all is, if i start the truck with the clutch depressd and in 1st gear, the motor cranks slower and when it starts it requires a little pull to get out of gear. its almost as if the clutch never disengages fully. what could it be? the tranny only has 130xxx on it and when i changed the gl4 in it it was clean.

could it be the wrong clutch master for the wrong truck? or are they pretty much the same for 84 until taco?

You didn't mention if you checked the slave cyl. It may be loose or blowing by. Mine did what yours is. It lasted 2 red lights then totaly blew out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

if the flywheel step is not cut correctly
the clutch will never work right
step is where pressure plate mounts

Is it Aftermarket or OEM? If it is an aftermarket, lifetime warranty one its life may be up!!!! Go buy an OEM MC and slave to replace it. Take the other one back and get it replaced. Put it and the slave in your trail spares stuff. You will never need it but someone else who bought the lifetime POS may!!!!

when i changed the gl4 in it it was clean.

And what did you put in? I gave myself the same clutch problems on two Toyota trucks by refilling the transmissions with GL5 gear oil.
