Had a clutch kit put in and wondering if it was not done correctly. Had no clutch when I went to pick up the truck and a friend said they didnt bleed the slave. (they didnt know how, still looking for bleeder valve), so I helped my friend but evidently I put the slave in wrong and it blew apart while depressing the clutch thus leaking dot3....possibly into the tranny??? Thinking it was the slave/clutch master cyl, the friend/I have replaced both (pulled the whole system and bled). COULD I HAVE DOT3 ON THE CLUTCH DISC CAUSING THIS PROBLEM??? or is it the mechanics that worked on the transmission initially? I was able to drive off but cpl hours later noticed the vibration when coming to a stop.

 

It has to be the work that was done , you go into there shop to get a clutch installed , it should be working with no problems , if they found other issues while in there , they should have called to tell you and make a new estimate .
If you know them & feel OK about them , let them fix it for free , other wise it could get sticky .
You have 3 people working on this and some do not know whats / what , your already in trouble , I warranty my work , but not if I am not the 1st to fix it , but will not if 2 others worked on it after ward , it should have gotten a test drive & found to be good before giving back .

 

The hyd clutch is one pain to bleed. Generally the best option is buy the complete kit from Dodge or a Southbend dealer. No bleeding involved in these kits.

 

Originally the clutch master went out so replaced that. Then throw out bearing was bad thus requiring the clutch kit. After replacing the broke Slave I did actually bleed it correctly but still had the problems. Now thinking had sub-par mechanics working on the clutch kit. I now bought another clutch kit and had someone certified install it. They found pressure plate bolts loose, throw out bearing mounted on wrong side of release arm, disk bent center loose pilot bearing also bent, fly wheel was not ground and is now. Truck now has better clutch pressure than when I purchased the truck 2 yrs ago.

 

You should get your money back from the 1st place .

 

Short question.. does it only lurch when you start it with clutch depressed in gear or also when in neutral ?
