89 Isuzu pickup clutch won't go in gear Sign In

89 Isuzu pickup clutch won't go into gear when running, when I turn it off I can put it in gear and it'll run and move, but won't change gears at all. It doesn't grind, just won't go into gear. Prior to this happening, my clutch pedal "dropped" to the floor and I had to bring it back up with my foot to change gears. In addition, since we changed the fuel pump and rebuilt the carb, I noticed my clutch had been"winding out" a lot more in most gears, especially third. This may be unrelated, but we had to take a lot of "stuff" off to get to the fuel pump, may have messed something up. Truck is a 2.3 five speed with around 130k miles.

It's has hydraulic linkage, right? Check that it's full first and watch it move when a helper is working the clutch to see what ISN'T moving properly.


You said you had to remove a lot of "stuff" to get at another job so check all that again hard if something was broken as your complaint is totally consistent with the clutch plain not disengaging no matter how it's designed cable or hydraulic.
Don't force it to shift as things will just get nasty,
