    I have used the wrong term. I should have said adjust the clutch. Insufficient clutch pedal give unusual transmission noise, revving and acceleration don't match up. Slipping. All those problems I had.
    It was too stiff. And another mechanic knew right away it wasn't done right. To think again, I left my truck for three days and paid close to $5,000 for work to be done and still not done right.

    Did you have no free play in the clutch?

    How could you (or any of the other shops) not notice the lack of free play in the clutch pedal? You're all fired.

    I am not a mechanic. Though I admit you're right.
    The person who worked on it said it's transmission. The other shop said it's most likely transmission as well.
    So, it seems not a lot of good mechanics up there. Many shops make their money. Do unnecessary things and still leave you with a problem to deal with...

    Not trying to give you a hard time but clutch freeplay is supposed to be part of your pretrip.

    It's the step you take before you trip.

    Post trip you turn around and say "WTF"
