Grinding gears after stopping

Could be several things. Mainly, don't take the truck OUT of gear until you are completely stopped. Once you are completely stopped, then press the clutch ALL the way to the floor before shifting out of gear. If it still grinds, then there's a problem with the clutch.

 

USe the clutch brake. If you dot know what that is, return immediately to the dmv and turn your cdl in

 

Push the clutch all the way to the floor wait a couple seconds and then try. If its still grinding may need a new clutch brake. They go out over time happens, its a fairly easy fix and pretty simple to get done. If you can't get it in gear after that and hear no grinding let the clutch out a little slip it in the hole and then proceed to punch the person who trained you in the face and request your money back from truck driving school. They didn't do their job at all.

 

With some clutches on certain occasions at a stop where you rolled up to it may do this. Try releasing the clutch, then depress it again and see if this doesn't help.

 

Press the pedal to the floor, allow it to remain there for a 2-3 seconds to let the stop-brake to do its job and then put it in gear. If that doesn't work then some adjustments need to be made. Company shop or dealer shop, or wherever your company says. Provided the material isn't worn off the pad from someone using it wrong, clutch can be adjusted to fix it. That's one of the first steps to take.

 

Lol, start using the clutch break.
Push that clutch all the way to the ground and it will stop the connector from spinning after a second or two so you can slide the gear in. If you can get the gear in, let off just a tad and the gear will open, but be careful about letting off too much pressure else you'll dump that clutch; not a good idea if you're in heavy traffic. Plus it makes you look like an ### if that cab is rocking and swaying more than David Lee Roth on stage in the late 80's.

If you're pushing ALL the way down, and I mean like you're trying to brake your seat, and nothing is happening, you need to get your clutch adjusted.

 

i keep my clutch brake 2 inches from the floor. and i dn't SHOVE the pedal to the floor. messes up my brake adjustment.

i HATE stepping on teh clutch to put into gear.

 

once i'm below , say, 25 mph. i most times will neutral the trans. and slide her in as i come to a ROLLING stop. don't use the pedal unless i'm coming to a COMPLETE stop.
