Clutch?? Or what.....
My truck is near impossible to shift.
Friday after running down the interstate I get on the off ramp and stop at a light and the truck refuses to go into gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd......any of them). It doesn't grind the gears just slap refuses to go. Is SUPER hard to get in and takes everything I've got to get it past the hard spot. The only gear that grinds is reverse.
Got it back home and adjusted to clutch pedal out some to see if that would do anything. It did........for about a day and then 1st became impossible again and don't even think about reverse. I can shut the truck off and everything is fine, put it in gear and everything is fine.........
Clutch? Or something else.... When in gear the clutch is releasing at the bottom 1/4 of the pedal so that is my main reason for thinking clutch but all the foward gears are not grinding..........
Ideas, suggestions and advice would be great!!
Recommended parts would be great also.

If fluid is full.
Perhaps your clutch pedal bracket is cracked/busted and not transferring the clutch release. Noted issue as defined in numerous threads.
Perhaps your slave cylinder has gone out.

bracket is broke............BAD
Got it unbolted last night and fought with it for 20 minutes trying to get it out but never could get the right angle to get the darn thing out!!! Any tips?
Question: Can that bracket be cut between the brake side and the clutch side to help when getting it back in? I don't see why it could because structurally is doesn't look like it would affect it.

ummmmm.........did you not get what I said?
I don't see where the center section has a darn thing to do with its structural integrity. The bolts and pressure points on either side of this area. If you can explain I'd be greatful.......
BTW - this thing is a BI**H to get out!! Bolts were easy.........rest is a PIA!!

Got it back together last night and it seems like everything is good to go. Feels like the clutch has a small area.........like maybe it is burnt up a little. Gonna ride her like she is for awhile and see what happens.
Shifting issue fixed.
