sorry, most of us were out for the weekend with our CB4x4 event/URE trail run. did you get it figured out? what is going on? did it just quit working (slipping) or does it not disengage when the pedal is pushed down? I assume that the linkage is still working properly.

It is making a really loud noise when in gear and vibrating when u push the clutch it stops the noise and vibration the pedal changed too I have been working on finding the best way to take on the clutch and after alot of research ive decided to pull the motor to get to the clutch now I have to get a cherry picker

Sounds most likely that the throw out bearing is shot. You can either pull the engine or the trans. Might be easiest to do the engine. The trans and t-case are very heavy!

I have decided to pull the motor I just have to get a cherry picker now u know where I can get one cheep

[broncosbybart]

probably harbor freight. not sure if there is one up your way or not. craigslist would be my choice for trying to find a used one.
