Hi..having probs with clutch...engine off gears fine....when stopped @ red light it dont want to go in first sometimes or its in first with clutch pedal depressed all the way and I have to keep my foot on brake as it wants to go and it starts to bog down like I'm letting pedal out and when trying to put in reverse it grinds till it winds down to be able to go in. Checked fluid..looks full just nasty looking..almost a black color.. Just need a little help and maybe point me in a direction...Tks

Does pumping the clutch help?

Gee oh Dee

Sounds like the clutch isn't fully disengaging.

gregspappy

yes...have to do it a few times... then it will go in....the guy I bought it from said it's a " hydraulic" clutch

TheJerm

Sounds like you need a new hydraulic system, they cant be bleed like normal system and come as a sealed unit

Hey I have the same issue. I Just replaced my clutch last night like an idiot I didn't pay enough attention to the linkages..anyways...It still grinds into reverse. I need to conect the transfer case the right way tonight. I am assuming its either a bad clutch system on mine or had a friend mention it could be syncros. Also not sure if its a rubber hose but they can get fatigued over time I am told.

Some hydro clutch systems can be bled. Double check. could just be a bad slave cyl

OP is a 94 so external slave and not bleed-able. Older internal slaves are bleed-able.

I was able to bleed the new system but it wasnt fun
