Unless the truck is moving very slowly then it will slide in gear fine, called the tech at Zbag and He suggested the clutch is not disengaging completely or either the master or cylinder get to a certain pressure and then bypass it. I have a ford zf5 master cylinder with a getrag 360 slave and it worked fine but now I believe it is more noticeable. Is the ford master too small?
I was looking at some replacement slave cylinders and it offers a doorman 1" bore, brute power integrated system and a Sachs SH6130, which one should I get?

A I overlooking something?
Anyone know if the ford ,aster cylinder isn't up to the task on the long run? I rather keep it this way since the truck is a ford and this one fits easier but I also want it to work the way is should.

Thank You.

 

One other thing, the ford master cyl is 7/8" bore and the dodge slave cyl is 1" bore, does that matter at all?

Thank You.

 

I cannot speak for your later-model Ford master, but my 1985 vintage master coupled to the Dodge/Getrag slave works wonderfully.


My truck did take a short spell of maybe a week or less where it didn't go into 1st easily, but then cured itself --- maybe an air-bubble --- who knows.

 

What did you find out about this ? Get it fixed ?

 

Could the throwout fork or pivot be worn, damaged or binding? I wore one out once.

 

If you could get your hands on another shifter top, I would try that as maybe the shifter top is going bad.
