I have a 89 HB how can i tell if my throw out bearing went out or the slave cylinder has gone bad?It is hard to put in to gear and it does not grind while i push in to gear it's just hard to put into gear.


Any help would be greatly appreciated

check the fluid level in the trans first...

I did that and it seemed to over full i loosened the bolt and it started leaking out before i could take it out all the way.How can i tell if the master cylinder is bad?As i said it doesn't grind when i try to put it in gear and it doesn't leak anywhere.

Make sure the clutch master cylinder is full with brake fluid. If that's OK, then there may be air in the hydraulic system. Last thing to check is for proper free play at the clutch pedal.

Ok i put a master cylinder and slave cylinder bleed all the air out and it shifted good and had good clutch pedal and went to start the truck and the same thing started again it is hard to put into gear it's like i have very little clutch pedal.And can some one tell me what the clutch damper does.

How old is the clutch in your HB??? After noticing it being hard to put into gear. . . Did you check your MC reservoir and notice it was empty? or did it still have fluid in it???

Did you say you were unsure if your slave cylinder was bad or did you find out and replace it already?
