Slave symptoms?

[evanandretti]

So rebuilt tranny, and new clutch.

Started having problems getting into reverse every so often. Have to slowely let the clutch out before it will fully engage, or run through other gears and try again. Not popping out or anything. Every other gear is fine.

Could this be the slave going? 13,000 miles on truck. 2,000 on rebuilt trannt and new clutch.

Anyway to diagnose?

Hmmm..... I would say it is a shifter issue. Set the park brake then loosen the shifter bolts and play around going through all the gears then tighten the bolts with the shifter in the neutral position . I think you are just having trouble finding the reverse gate. If it was clutch it would grind trying to enter reverse.

Thanks I'll give that a try. Is there a step by step to do this on the forum somewhere?

The biggest pain is getting the console apart, without scratching the plastic. The clips hold damn tight. Remove the shift knob. Once you get the top section off, there will be three screws holding the bottom section to the floor. Remove them and the bottom section. There will be a rubber boot to remove, six screws or so and you will have your shifter base exposed. Loosen the four mounting bolts, move you shifter around a bit to make sure you are engaged. Tighten the four bolts an drive around a while before you put the console back together.
