No clutch pedal, can't get NV4500 into gear

Posted

So, I was towing my boat back and no issues until I went to put it in reverse.   It was acting like it was stuck.  After I backed in the boat, I put the brake on, unhooked the boat.  Jumped back in and then tried putting it in first, with the brake on...:doh:

So, soon after getting home that I tried to put it in reverse and no go.  the pedal went right to the floor, and it would not go into gear unless the engine was off.

Is this a broken clutch fork, stuck throwout bearing.and do I need a new clutch master/salve  cylinder?  I rebuilt the tranny last year, replaced the clutch 2 years ago, and now have 350,000 miles, with about 70k on the clutch.

Thanks for any help

    Even buying the part separated from Autozone you can do it for $95... that's a $55 dollar saving do it your self and bleeding the system out before you install it.   http://www.autozone.com/

    Check under the dash for fluid leaks at the push rod of the clutch pedal.

    Not something I'd suggest either for no good reason. But to get home, it'll work. Better than a tow.

I replaced my slave a good while back. It also had the bleeder screw on it. I filled the slave and reconnected it. Two or three pumps and it was fine.

 

I did my master a long time ago. I was totally ignorant of this sealed system. I filled it and hooked it up though I lost a fair amount of the fluid. Not knowing how to bleed it I just drove it. Really had to pump it to use the clutch but over a little more than a week all the air worked its way out and has been fine since.

    Pushing air down when bleeding brakes too

     

    This is true... But...

     

    There is some mild differences. Volume of fluid moved by the master be it brake or clutch I'm sure the clutch moves less volume and pressure compared to brake master cylinder. Also the hydraulic lines on brakes are smaller in ID diameter and made of steel to handle high pressures where the clutch is slightly larger and made of plastic so air bubbles don't flow as well.

     

    I ran into this same issue on a Chevy 6.5L diesel and bleeding the clutch and it was a PITA to do. The air refused to travel downward.
