Western Star clutch? Will not go into gear without jamming it!

Yes free travel of the pedal

 

It happens… sorry.

 

Not really if the springs are busted you can see until you pull it out. How many miles on this clutch?

 

I've seen a few trucks come in where drivers overheated the clutch and warped the discs bad enough that you'd have to shut it off to put it in gear. Either that or a busted spring is bound up in there.

Either way if your adjustments are good and its dragging you'll have to drop the transmission unfortunately.

 

It ain’t going to hurt to have a new one

 

So maybe I missed something but I don’t recall ever seeing that you verified over travel on the pedal after touching the clutch brake. One other though and something i see occasionally on local trucks is the two teeth on the clutch brake actually wear/brake off
