I have a problem.

Hi guys:



I have a 1995 s-10 pick up truck 4.3,... manual trasmission.and this is the problem I'm having



I put new trans, new clutch, new pumps (master and slave) and when the truck is cold, in the morning it works good, the way it should be, but after 1\2 hour driving it, it is really hard to change the gear. At the traffic light I even have to turn it off put the gear press the clutch pedal start it and then I can drive it but really hard to s*it.



Any ideas where to start? This is killing me. I also noticed that the clutch pedal is softer after that 1\2 hour.



Thank you very much in advance. Any suggestion would really be appreciate it.



Regards,



Arionardo.



I guess you mean master & slave cylinders. Did you bleed them? It sounds like air trapped in the system

snipped-for-privacy@earthl>Hi guys:

Yes that's what I meant master and slave cylinder. So is ti possible that in the morning is good and still has air in it? Is there another way to bleed them other that pumping the pedal and open the bleeder at the slave cylinder and so on? I mean any type of air sucker that you can attached to any cylinder and it takes the air out of the system?

On hyd clutches I found that the best way is to press the pedel to the floor and wedge it so it doesnt move and then open the bleeder on the slave cyl. and let it drip for about 10 minutes, then tighten the bleeder and let the pedel come up.

Did he say "It's really hard to s*it" ? :>O

I fail to see how this would work. Be it a hydraulic clutch master or a brake master if you depress the pedal the seals on the pistons move past the return and compensating ports and fluid can not flow through the system. I have done exactly what you suggest to keep a master from going dry when changing calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses and even clutch slave cylinders.
