The clutch doesn't grind going into gear, it would be the transmission.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

Bring back the mechanical clutch linkage , they are foolproof . Hydraulic clutches have too many parts and have high failure rates compared to mechanical linkage . A self adjusting clutch is used with the hydraulic system . They are expensive to maintain . 7/28/23

Does a 2004 freightliner columbia 10 speed have a master cylinder

[@alreyindustries]

I’m not sure. If you have a hydraulic clutch you have a master cylinder. If you have a mechanical clutch, you do not.

You need a clutch brake

[@N54God666]

absolutely thank you, I'm a well knowledgeable mechanic and I couldn't find a single thing on how the clutch brake works in this hydro system. do wish you explained how to remove it

[@G-AND-A-PRESS-PLAY]

That specific one you have to remove the clutch to slide it off.

[@xxkornmetalxx]

So much good information. Will check it out. I hope it's just the clutch brake. Problems just started yesterday getting it into gear during take off.

[@alreyindustries]

Clutch brake is likely 👍

[@G-AND-A-PRESS-PLAY]

How do you adjust the gap between the clutch brake and the throw out bearing?

[@alreyindustries]

Is it a self adjusting hydraulic clutch?

[@G-AND-A-PRESS-PLAY]

@@alreyindustries yes. Hydraulic clutch, replaced master and slave cylinder and I’m lost.

[@alreyindustries]

@@G-AND-A-PRESS-PLAY two ways you can try: 1. Hold the clutch pedal down (you’ll need someone to help or a pedal depressor). While the pedal is pressed down, push the “wear indicator tab” on the face of the clutch all the way back to the “new” position. Release the pedal and pump the pedal several times. See if that adjusts that gap. 2. If it doesn’t adjust that way, you can do the same procedure except, after you push the wear tab all the way back up to the new position and release the pedal, you can hold a spacer (something metal about a 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick) in between the throw out bearing and clutch brake before pumping the pedal again. Sometimes that spacer will cause the clutch to adjust and remove that space. Something else you may want to check is the hydraulic system. Pump the pedal several times to build pressure in the hydraulic system. If the gap between the throw out bearing and clutch brake gets smaller or goes away completely that means something is leaking in the hydraulic system causing you to lose pressure not allowing the pedal to push the forks as far as they should go. If that’s the case I would check the slave cylinder.

@@alreyindustries clutch is brand new also. The tab is in the new position.
