X2, & if you continue to drive it & force it into gear it will ruin the syncros (syncros are probably already gone) & eventually the gears. This grinding that you're hearing when you force it into gear is metal to metal contact & is the fast road to failure. I would not trust this on the Al-Can highway. People have died on that road when their vehicles have failed them.
1998 Chevy pickup manual transmission very hard to shift... clutch problems? Help?
Hey there,
I'm having some problems shifting in my 1998 Chevy Cheyenne, crew cab, 350 engine. It's a manual transmission, and basically, it's just really hard to get it into any gear. It's definitely driveable (I drive it almost every day), but I have to really force it into the gears, even with the clutch fully depressed. It also grinds like crazy when I try to shift into reverse.
The clutch engages when the pedal is pressed almost all the way to the floor.
Any ideas on what the problem is? I need to drive this truck up to Alaska in a couple weeks, so the sooner I get it fixed the better.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
