Hard to get in gear

Actually sometimes it is impossible to get it to slip into any gear. I have NV5600 with a Southbend clutch with about 30k on it. I'm almost postive I know the problem, but it comes and goes. Sometimes it works perfectly then sometimes you have to kill it to get it in gear. It will cause problems for a couple of days then be just fine for 2 weeks. This part has me confused. Maybe someone can give me a happier solution. Thanks, Wes

Re:Hard to get in gear

Check your clutch hydralics - specafically the master cylinder. Fluid is probably leaking past the front seal and returning to the tank when the pedal is depressed.

Re:Hard to get in gear

Sounds like something in your clutch assby is not releasing completely ???
