RESPONSE<\/p>\n

If in neutral with the engine off you are able to shift into all gears then you will need to replace the hydraulic clutch assembly and possibly the clutch slave cylinder assembly. If you are still unable to shift into all gears, there is internal transmission<\/a> damage.<\/p>\n

Hydraulic Clutch System Description and Operation<\/h3>\n

Clutch Spin Down Time<\/h4>\n

Check the clutch spin down time as follows:
\n\u2022Apply the parking brake. Block the vehicle wheels.
\n\u2022Shift the manual transmission into neutral.
\n\u2022Start the engine. Run the engine at idle speed.
\n\u2022Engage the clutch.
\n\u2022Disengage the clutch. Wait 9 seconds.
\n\u2022Shift the transmission into reverse.<\/p>\n

Clutch Driving Members<\/h4>\n

The clutch driving members are 2 flat surfaces machined to a smooth finish. They are:
\n\u2022The rear face of the engine flywheel
\n\u2022The front face of the clutch pressure plate<\/p>\n

Clutch Driven Members<\/h4>\n

The driven member is the clutch driven plate. The clutch driven plate has a splined hub. The splined hub slides lengthwise along the splines of the input shaft. The splined hub drives the input shaft through these same splines. The driving and driven members are held together with a spring pressure. This pressure is exerted by a diaphragm spring in the clutch pressure plate.<\/p>\n

Hydraulic Clutch Fluid<\/h4>\n

Caution! Do not use mineral or paraffin-base oil in the clutch hydraulic system. These fluids may damage the rubber parts in the cylinders.<\/p>\n

Hydraulic Clutch Operating Members<\/h4>\n

The clutch system consists of the following components:
\n\u2022A master cylinder with a reservoir
\n\u2022A switch
\n\u2022An concentric slave cylinder connected to hydraulic tubing
\n\u2022Pressure Plate
\n\u2022Clutch Cover
\n\u2022Diaphragm Springs
\n\u2022Release Bearing
\n\u2022Clutch Disc
\n\u2022Torsional Springs
\n\u2022With the depression of the clutch pedal, the clutch master cylinder becomes pressurized from the force of the push rod into the master cylinder. This forces hydraulic fluid into the tubing from the master cylinder to the concentric slave cylinder. The concentric slave cylinder then engages by pushing the releasing bearing into the diaphragm spring and release the clutch. A hole in the cowl panel accommodates the master cylinder. A quick connect coupling helps route the hydraulic tubing. the concentric slave cylinder is inside the transmission and on the input bearing retainer. The hydraulic control system can be replaced without having to gain access to the clutch system internal components , simply engage the quick connect coupling mounted through the transmission housing. No adjustments to the clutch system are necessary. as the clutch wears, the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir changes to compensates for clear wear. A new system will have fluid in the reservoir. An electrical switch on the push rod has two functions: One function is a clutch interlock, ensuring the engine does not start unless the clutch pedal is engaged, positioned to the floor. The second function is to cut off the cruise-control system, if equipped, when the clutch pedal is engaged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
