Same as for the brakes. Locate the bleeder, slack it and re tighten. Have someone pull in the clutch and hold, you release the bleeder, then tighten it while the clutch is still held in. Once the bleeder is tight, release the clutch and repeat till all the air is out. Make sure to refill the fluid.
the trans will still shift into gear with a bad clutch you will find tho, sometimes this will not happen. usaully it is NOT indicative of other problems.
You have to look at the wear on the clutch and look for cracks. If the clutch does go out, the shifter will still move everywhere, but the transmission will not shift.
Not sure what you're asking about. I have a 1998 S10 standard shift that still has a clutch pedal.
try to make sure the clutch pedal is all the way down before you change gear. in no way shape or form should you have to floor the clutch everytime you shift gears, however, if you are still grinding gears while flooring the clutch, and if there isn't that little bit of give on the pedal i'd suggest adjusting or replacing the clutch.
92 cavalier 31 clutch has to be on floor and still shifts hard
With a little practice you can start a vehicle in 1st gear and shift gears without the use of a clutch. This would be only to get you safely home or to a garage.
Hold down the clutch when sitting still or going too slow for that gear.
Check the hydraulic fluid level for the clutch master cylinder, it may be empty. If it is empty you can fill it with DOT 3 brake fluid. This may temporarily fix the problem but you still have a leak in the system.
Let's agree on terms. Clutch is still not fully engaging? To me this means that when it's in gear the clutch slips. Looking at it another way I wonder if you mean when you step on the clutch it doesn't disengage. That it is hard to shift gears. Makes a difference. If the clutch is not gripping that is not going to have anything to do with the slave cylinder or bleeding it. If it is that the clutch is not disengaging so that you can shift you are sure about your bleeding technique, changed the slave, the only things left are the master cylinder and the lines.
If you did not bench bleed the master, you need to do that.
The transmissions aren't made by Freightliner, and this answer applies to all commercial truck manufacturers. A fully automatic transmission is clutch free. An autoshift basically adds a synchroniser gear and computer operated shift mechanism to a manual transmission, and still uses a clutch. With an autoshift, poor clutch manipulation often causes the synchroniser gear to go out, making the transmission unable to shift. On a fully automatic transmission, that problem does not exist.
