clutch/gear issues

Post by Beauzooki »

i have a 95 sj70 sierra. i was stopped behind a car at the lights and had it in 1st gear with the cluth in, i was there for about 30 secs and i herd a bang which i felt on the cluch peddle,then some tickking. then i herd and felt a second bang and with the clutch in the car started crawling forward slowly then 2 secs later a third bang and it was all good again. so i drove for about a km and i went to drop back a gear and and couldnt get the stick in any gear. so i stopped and i went right again and i drove home and there was no hassles any ideas? it seems perfectly fine now.

Sounds like a dodgy clutch - I am sure it won't last long, whatever it is!

Snapped spring off the pressure plate flogging around in there.

or same as what happened to my mazda years ago. a spring broke free out of my friction plate. flogged around in there for a bit then wedged itself between the friction plate and the pressure plate. not allowing me to release the clutch which made for a fun drive from wickham to edgey. took better part of 2 hours

One of the teeth snapped off my pressure plate and it felt like that.
It then rattled around in the bellhousing for a few days.
It was till drivable but noisy. Maybe a couple of teeth have broken off on yours?

i seems fine now. i was thinking teeth to but i thought that would have made weird noises. it has not made anything worse.
