    My truck (2016 Cascadia) is difficult to get into gear in the morning when the trucks cold but later in the day, I don't seem to have a problem with it. What could this be? I figure if it was a bad clutch break then it would be difficult to put into gear all the time not just in the morning when it's cold.

    When was the last time you changed the gear oil in the trans. It seems to be calling out for a gear oil change, just buy a 5 gal. bucket of the gear oil it takes and drain it?

    Good idea. I've been planning on changing all the fluids in the truck since I bought it 2 months ago. I have no maintenance records on the truck and it has over 600000 miles on it.

    Clutch brake? See if it can be adjusted.

    10/4. I think it can be. Assuming it doesn't need to be replaced. From what I can tell if it spins freely then it is bad and needs to be replaced.

    Like @baha said. Sounds like the oil is sticky when cold and time for a change.

    It should have been changed at 500 thou. miles and might not, having it changed will not hurt, change both rear ends and trans. now, then keep track of all oil changes and gear oil changes, grease jobs mi. in a mant. note book you keep in truck !
