My pick-up is difficult to put into gear. It wil not on an incline while in gear with the clutch depressed. Shifted into neutral in the same situation it rolls freely.
First, I replaced the master cylinder and bled the system. The symptom persisted.
I next suspected the slave cylinder. In this model year the transmission must come down to replace the slave cylinder. In that case I replaced the whole clutch assembly and slave cylinder. The only visual concern was a slightly dry throw-out bearing but it turned freely.
After reassembly and bleeding the hydraulics again the problem persists. All new parts in the clutch system now. I have no idea where to turn now.
Can you help?
