Alright, so I've got a few issues with my newly acquired 2000 4Runner. Sitting stopped, in neutral, with the clutch to the floor, when I go to put into any gear it does not want to go in. It feels like there is a wall blocking it from going into gear; I'm afraid if I force it it will grind. As soon as I start to move, the transmission shifts perfect, no grinds or pop-outs to speak of, and it transfers in and out of gear smoothly.
The clutch was replaced 30,000kms ago. The truck has 190,000kms.
My first assumption was that the clutch just needed to be adjusted, but this is where my issues start. The Hayes manual calls for 6.77-7.17 inches of pedal height. The most height I can get until I run out of thread on the pushrod is ~5.60 inches; and when unbolted from the pushrod the most pedal height I can get is 7inches before the pedal arm hits a bracket. Is the Hayes manual wrong? I replaced the oil in the transmission, and there was no metal or debris in the oil. I also bled the system but got no air.
Any ideas? Could it be my clutch master cylinder or the clutch slave cylinder wearing out maybe?
Thanks
Spencer
