Hey guys! I had the clutch replaced on the Ranchero about 2 months ago (10/5/2017). The pedal was firm and the clutch engagement was great when I first got it back, but while in reverse you can hear a loud whining noise. It goes away when I put it into 1st gear. About a week ago, the clutch pedal started to not fully return when I shift into neutral. (The pedal comes up about half way) Also, when I put my foot on the clutch while it is in that position, there is a vibration in the pedal and i can hear a loud grinding noise. What could cause this issue? Thanks! -Hayden
When you say that the clutch was replaced, how much of the whole ***embly was replaced? Disc? Pressure plate? Throwout bearing? Is this an inline-6? If so, is this a "rebuilt"" clutch, rather than a new one?
Reverse can be noisy while moving because they are often straight cut gears. It sounds to me like your issues are more transmission related and not clutch related.
