#517683 wpeteman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 22 Clutch axel rod teeth broken. 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Bought a 2000 SILVERADO with a bad clutch. Got the cover off and now I know why the spline on top of the rod was stripped. The other end of the rod has gear teeth that are broken off.Those teeth mesh with the clutch rod gear teeth and the rod runs into the center of the clutch basket.Anyway several gear teeth are broken off. Anyone ever come across this before? Wonder what could have caused those teeth to break off like that? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just a matter of time before they speak up. In the meantime there's an engine teardown series in the tech articles that might help.

Now it looks like I need new plates and I might as well install the Barnett spring set up if its a worthwhile improvement. No wonder the seller gave up on this Silverado,the clutch must have felt like it was full of gravel.It couldn't worked long like this.

Good luck getting it put back together.   Logged     http://s1271.beta.photobucket.com/user/bluestar825/library/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #517896 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it ..
