If i stop at a redlight and just push in the clutch and leave it in gear, about 20 seconds later the truck starts to take off. I cant get it out of gear either. once I turn the truck off push the clutch a few times its ok until i hold the clutch in for any time. I have a haisley street drag clutch. 15000 miles on it no slippage whatso ever. resivior is full I need some input and suggestions on what it could be. Thanks

 

Sounds like the master cylinder on the hydraulic clutch is bad. Just like when your brake master cylinder goes bad and the peddle sinks and the brakes start to release when it hits bottom.

 

Thanks, That is what I was thinkin too just wanted to get a second opinion before I shelled out the cash

 

It could also be the slave cylinder , check to see if there is any wet / leaking hyd. fluid .

 

Well I cant find any leaking fluid and my resiviour is still full......... How big of a pain is it to change these?

 

Have you tried bleeding the air out of the system yet?

 

How do you bleed the air out? Is it just like bleeding brakes?

 

If its not leaking out it sounds like the slave is allowing fluid past the seal and letting the forks start to engage. Air would allow slippage immediately I would guess as its easily compressible.

If yours is like a '97 it is a preassembled unit with no provision for servicing (bleeding). Can you "pump up" the clutch pedal? If so it has failed internally. OEM from Mopar4Less was about $110 for mine. South Bend Clutch also sells one designed for heavier after market clutches. R & R is pretty easy. Don't forget to pull the master cyl anti spin plastic pin that goes thru the firewall under the dash if it has one like mine.

 

Well I ordered the thing from them. 163.00 Now how bad are these to install? any special tools needed. If anybody has a how to I would greatly appreciate it.
