Hi All,
I have read all sorts of similar threads and have checked most common things suggested (I think).
Prior to all of the below, the tranny had started screaming when pushing in the clutch pedal and it sounded to me like the release bearing may have been starting to go bad.
Short story. Took the 40 swimming and motor cut off (not orig. dizzy). After 4 hour recovery, no spark. truck sat for 2 days and finally figured out it was the points still wet (thought they were dried).
Drove the 40 about 12 miles 8 days ago, pulled in garage and drained both diffs and the engine fluids. Replaced with new.
2 nights later (early last week) checked TC fluid and it was fine. drained tranny (milky) and let sit for 2 nights draining as it was cold as hell and the fluid is thick. Finished up with tranny fluid and went to back the truck out of the garage this past Saturday and it would not go into any gear with the truck running. Truck off and I can get it into all gears. Does not change regardless of 2H, 4H, 4L on the TC.
Clutch master is clean and full, does not appear to be leaking externally. Slave operates the fork correctly and it is all adjusted to FSM. (I have not tried beeding the system yet, worth trying at this point?).
Put the truck in reverse (I am pulled into my garage) and with the clutch pedal pushed down tried starting...truck was still in gear and started wanting to move a little...
This is where I am now and unless there are some other thoughts, I thought I would go ahead and replace the following.
- disc
- pressure plate
- release bearing
- pilot bearing
- rear main seal
Anyway, Auto Parts at Auto Parts Way - Car Parts, Import Parts, Truck Parts, Auto Accessories has the disc, pressure plate (Aisin) and Koyo release bearing and Nachi pilot bearing all for about 170.00
Any other thoughts or suggestions on either correcting the problem or thoughts on what else should be replaced while I am in there would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, this is all stock Toyota stuff i am working on. 2F and 4 sp (H41/H42 whichever one is the less desired one )
Thank in advance.
Brad
