My clutch linkage seems intermittently to be out of adjustment, ie it's partially engaged when pedal is near the floor preventing me from getting it out of gear without shutting engine off, slightly pulling truck when stopped in gear, and when out of gear the clutch brake doesn't work when pressed hard against the floor. Then it's all back to normal a few minutes later.
When this happens, the clutch still engages normally when I let it out, allowing me to pull out as usual. And the pedal feels normal.
It's happened a few times over the last couple of days, and I don't see any obvious problem with the linkage, or any way it could go out of adjustment that way then return to normal.
It's a 2007 KW T2000 with C15 and RTLO16913A.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Al

Most likely the torsion springs in clutch disc are coming apart. When a piece gets between disc or comes out of spring pocket it effectively engages the clutch until piece works way out from between discs. Might be able to get by for a bit but give yourself plenty of space pulling up to traffic....at some point it will get big piece in there and you wound be able to disengage it. Don't run somebody over.
Al^* Thanks this. -
