Hard97Body - 22 Apr 2006 00:44 GMT
I have a 97 hardbody and it seems that the clutch will not engage. I've
had people tell me a few  different possible problems, ie one or more
fingers on the pressure plate could have broken off, or that the fork
is bent, air in the lines. Ok the question, has anyone had this problem
and how did they fix it, the only noticeable things are of course
unable to engage clutch, it will still run if I start it in gear (I
don't drive it) it will take off, I got down to check out the fork I
tried to pull it with my hand and it wouldn't budge, and lastly the
clutch pedal is really stiff. Sorry for the long message, appreciate
any help, oh and last question is it a situation where I won't know
till  I get the transmission down.  Thanks

It seems as if your clutch disk is gone.

Normally you would not be able to just pull the fork out, otherwise it
would come out by itself.

The stiff pedal is a consequence of gummed up grease in the system
including the cable if equipped with one, and /or a defective pressure
plate.

Good luck.
