Hard to get in gear

Actually sometimes it is impossible to get it to slip into any gear.<br><br>I have NV5600 with a Southbend clutch with about 30k on it.<br><br>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.<br><br>Maybe someone can give me a happier solution.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>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.
