Why your semi transmission is grinding and not going into gear. Listen for yourself.

Ойын-сауық

In this video I’m showing how an improperly adjusted clutch effects your transmission while trying to go into gear. We have people complain of this problem all the time and immediately think that they need a transmission and without addressing the issue with the clutch you absolutely can end up causing a lot of unnecessary wear to the transmission. Hopefully you guys and girls can see and understand what’s going on in this video and why it’s important to keep your clutch properly adjusted. 10,000 subs and counting thank y’all very much for everything. ‪@etrtruckcenterenginedrivet8918‬

    Great explanation. One trick to avoid it is to count to 5 after pressing the clutch pedal, then engage the gear.

    I’m having the same problem but I installed a new clutch and still does the same thing

    Would a non-stock shift stick affect the "ease of getting into gear"? I have an ever so slight grind you described with the slider clutch?. I swapped in an 18spd that's F-designated (RTLO*F*16918B) ... and had to use a junkyard sourced shifter that j-hooked to the shift tower. I always wonder if that may be a reason for the imprecise shift feel. Also, im having to adjust my clutch every 10K miles, and lube the throwout bearing every 3K miles (else i detect a rattle) ... Is this normal?

    I have a freightliner cascadia 2016 and just put in a new (self adjusting clutch) basically what was installed when trk was new. I have had so many issues with this clutch. I have maybe 2500 miles on this new clutch and indicator shows 50% now. I had no issues with my transmission until putting this scrap metal in. So basically can this be fixed or just remove and install something else. Pretty sure freightliner not going to warranty this OEM part.

    Did you go thru and show the difference between the clutch adjustment and the clutch brake adjustment. . . . for the regular manual clutch linkage..not the hydraulic?

    Mine will go into 1st gear but grind real bad going into every other gear. Do you think the clutch brake is not stopping the transmission? It's pushing the throwout bearing into the pressure plate.

    I have a 13 speed Eaton and when I put it on nine gear it sometimes kicks out. I guess I need to rebuilt it?? How much will it run me to rebuilt my transmission?

    what if my shifter is vibrating as well, at idle, neutral, clutch out it vibrates, clutch in hard to get into first and reverse, goes into 2nd and 3rd but with grinding that slows to a stop and allows shifter to get into the gate after a second or two of light pressure at the gate. eaton rtx 10 speed.
