1994 mighty max grinds going into reverse

[camoit]

i haven't removed the shifter or adjust the clutch yet. I'm planning on doing it on Monday. The clutch seems to be fine. I mean sometimes I have the press it all the way down before I have no resistance going into 1st gear. Even with some resistance going into 1st gear, it doesn't grind at all. I have also noticed that when I start the truck in first gear I can shift to reverse without a problem, it will only grind if I had drove it for a while.

With this info it tells me the cable needs to be adjusted.
The reason it doesn't grind when starting in gear and holding the clutch is because the disc is held in place by the rear end through the transmission gear set. So when you go from the gear it's in to reverse doesn't give the disc enough time to build up inertia.
Now when you try to go into reverse after driving or starting the truck with the clutch engaged. The slight amount of friction between the pressure plate and flywheel is enough to make the disc start to rotate.

Sweet, I thought it was going to be something major that I had to fix. So far I'm loving the truck. Cheap on gas, and it's very reliable for a 22 year old truck.
