Hi guys (and gals)
Finally got all of my suspension components changed (ball joints, u joints, wheel bearings, etc)
1979 F150 4x4, 3 speed manual.
I didn't explicitly touch any of the transmission components, but now I have a new problem.
Everything is back together, and I start the truck. Now there's a little bit of grinding when I put the truck in gear with the clutch fully depressed, and the truck IMMEDIATELY begins to move. Its like the clutch isn't fully releasing, despite the fact the pedal is on the floor.
I guess what's confusing me, is that I didn't have this problem before I started messing with the suspension!
The only thing I can think of is that I removed both axle shafts to do the ujoints, and possibly some fluid leaked out of the front differential. But this doesn't make sense as the transfer case is in 2 wheel high, and both front manual hubs are in FREE position.
Now, given that I just messed with the suspension components, can anyone suggest a reason why I now appear to have a clutch or transmission issue?
It would be really cool if I could fix it by adding fluid or a simple adjustment somewhere, less cool if I have to take more stuff apart!!!
Any suggestions please?
