I have a 94 Chev Cheyenne K3500 with manuel transmission.
A couple of days ago it started to feel like the there was play somewhere in the drivetrain/clutch/transfer case. While driving downhill and half coasting in 3rd or 4th, there is a quick 'clang' like the whole bell housing is moving around or something. I was starting to become worried and checked underneath and saw nothing superficially.
So today was on my way out off town and she was driving great. I was half thinking she mighty have fixed herself, when all of the sudden as I'm cruising down moderate grade doing 60mph there is quick grinding noise then nothing!
I pulled over onto nice shoulder and found that I had no gears. The engine was running the same but when I release clutch while in gear it acts as if I am still in neutral. I turned it off and on and still no gears. Then 20 minutes later I turned it on and I had gears now but they were only low range?! I was effectively in 2 low. My 4x4 stick shift was in Neutral and I could not move it anywhere else. So I made it back home with top speed of 25mph.
Do I need to adjust clutch linkage? Or something else?
The previous owner had new clutch put in.
thanks!
