Put a new clutch in the truck and slave cylinder. I put it all back together the truck will go in gear, but it doesn't pull it won't move at all. It's like it's in neutral, you can put it in gear and take it out of gear when the truck is running or not running, and you don't have to use the clutch and when you put it in gear truck doesn't move or nothing.

Hi Dave, if you are able to shift the transmission without the clutch while the engine is running. something isn't together correctly because it is always engaged. Did you replace the pressure plate? Also, you mentioned the slave cylinder was replaced. Did it go together easily? Did you align the piolet bearing when installing the input shaft?

Let me know as much as you can. Also, let me know if you hear any odd sounds, and if you place it in gear with the engine off, does it roll like it's in neutral?

Take care,

Joe
