Lately i have noticed that sometimes when i let out my clutch i hear somewhat of a banging noise. It doesn't seem to do it all the time but its beginning to bother me. I jacked it up and had my dad run the truck letting out the clutch and then changing directions. Then you could really hear it. I then put it in gear and crawled under neath and wiggled the drive shaft. I could hear a lot of spring noise up in the clutch area. Do the damper springs in clutch disks cause some issues on these trucks?

 

Could be broken fingers in the pressure plate, and/or/caused by a bad/overheated throwout bearing.

 

what clutch do you have?

mine rattles alot because of the heavy duty hub center hub

 

I have broken the torque springs out of a gasser rig before. Usually it makes it buck back and forth when you try to ease on or off the throttle. Kinda makes your head whip back and forth. Mine was an easy thing to check because it blew a hole through the bell housing.

 

Looking through the clutch fork hole it looks like it has a Sachs clutch it in. When you try to inch the clutch it gets kind of jerky if you take off in low or if you are trying inch it out in reverse. You can only hear the banging noise when you take off and it seems worse than it used too.
