[SRT10VENOMOUS]

Damm everytime i go to put thie slut in reverse it gets harder to get in. feels like im gonna snap the damm shifter handle off.. .. is this a shiter issue or trani? 1 threw 6 work like a charm and once i get it into revers its all good.. any input?

Ferrraritruck had the same problem on Saturday....he had to be pushed backwards......(after running though the staging lights... )

hmmm any idea what this issue is?

 

[Misterhemi03]

Clutch is on its way out. Thats what started happening to mine. Any play in the clutch pedal?

 

[SRT10VENOMOUS]

hmmmm never thought about that.. come to think of it i think there is a lil.. it dosnt really engage untill half way down ... ill have to look at it closer when i go out again tommorw

 

[SRT10VENOMOUS]

so after you changed the clutch.. reverse etc worked perfectly?? did u just change the clutch or did u do the entire upgrade master slave etc..?

I've always had the habit of slipping it into fourth for a second before engaging first or reverse. Mostly to kill the friction plate inertia. If that doesn't work, I would bleed the hydraulics or check out the throwout bearing.:joyman: :driver:

Yup:

Same problem I had before I did the Viper GTS clutch hydraulics package and Dan Cragin's re-routing and sheilding of the clutchlines. It seems to be an issue of insufficient line pressure and heat affecting the hydraulic fluid.

I went through hell with this whole clutch hydraulics thing for nearly 2 years. Kept burning up clutch discs, flywheels etc..... Dodge even put in a new tranny thinking that might be it....

As soon as I did the aforementioned work ALL of my clutch problems vanished.............Plastic slave cylinders are just a stupid idea.

My problems all started with not being able to get it in reverse. Then soon after became, "I can't get it into gear at all".

By the way, next time you are stuck in the street and can't get it into reverse, try shutting off the engine, then pumping the shit out'a the clutch pedal. It should eventually go into reverse with the engine off. Then fire it up and go.

Hope this helps.

Venomous, as stated in the other clutch thread. Roe offers the entire clutch upgrade for around $1500 or so. I think Boomer has the same deal. Centerforce clutch, fidanza alum flywheel, Viper master/slave shims and spacers.

All RC guys will eventually replace their clutch, espcially us 04 guys. We got hosed with the wrong gears.

I didnt run the stage lights!! besides even if I did, you didnt see. it's all hear say. Although while trying to engage reverse after the burnout, (dont ask why) It was as if reverse just got deleted, clutch pedal to the floor still woulnd't go in. After the run in the pits it reverse was engaging normally again. only thing i can imagine is that heated up the fluid since it was a back to back run. hope fully this wont happen again once i get that clutch package.

Hopefully you won't go past the lights again

NBT had the clutch installed a couple of months ago.

It may not be a heat thing. Any time the engine spins at high RPM something in the clutch loosens-up. I've noticed it upshifting (Could be heat related) and downshifting (Not heat related).:burnout:

I found the easiest way to recover is to sit in neutral and pump the clutch pedal a couple times. I can feel a change in the pedal feel on each pump until the truck is drivable again.

Still, I will buy the clutch kit...when I'm not broke...

alrighty the beast is cold now im gonna go out and see how it goes into reverse when cold vs hot .. try the going to 4th gear also , and the pumping of the clutch if it dosnt go in.. and give u an update

Try reverse with the engine off. As I was loosing a clutch, I could shut off the engine and it went right in. If it's still hard, could be tranny. If easy (normal), I'd guess something in the clutch system.

well went out today .... when i started her up .. it goes into reverse no issues at all. when the temp warmed up and 30 min of driving it got a lil bit harder but really not an issue.. and when i reaally started driving a few 0-60 runs ets gettin on it hard .. thats when reverse becomes a whroe .. so basicaly when it gets really really hot under the hood reverse becomes impossible
