1992 Toyota pick-up, grinds when shifting-do I need a clutch?.

 

Hi Steve,

I have a 1992 Toyota pick-up and I am having a hard time shifting gears all the time and it will grind going into reverse. If I pump the clutch pedal before I shift it will not grind as much? Do I have a hydraulic problem or do I need to replace the clutch assembly? Can you please help me??

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

It sounds like you defiantly have a clutch problem with this one.

The fact that you have to pump the clutch pedal to get it to work makes me think its a problem in the hydraulic system of the clutch. Either a clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder.

The mileage on the truck does concern me though, so I think to fix this right you are going to need to replace the clutch assembly as well as the hydraulic parts of the system.

I hope this is a help to you .

Thank you for your car repair question.
