I have just refitted a reconditioned gearbox and transfer case replacing the clutch with a heavy duty one, after problems bleeding the clutch replaced the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, the clutch would still not release.
Removed the thin spacer from between the slave cyl'd and housing still not releasing.
I made up a three holed plate with a threaded bar in the middle, removed the slave cyl'd and fitted the plate, screwed in the threaded bar and pushed the clutch pin and arm fully approx 22mm.
Still cannot engage the gears, lots of grinding, I put it into reverse/low and started the engine it drove back but stopped when I put the brakes on, it sounded like the clutch was slipping/rubbing, released the brakes and it drives off again.
Then screwed out the threaded bar on the temporary brkt releasing the clutch lever, did the same test starting in gear applied the brakes and the engine stalled.
It looks to me that the clutch pressure plate is not being released fully?
If you can help it would be appreciated, I am considering going back to therapy as electric shook treatment sounds a better alternative to pulling out the f'in gearbox again.
