I am a retired electronics engineer. Since retirement, I have kept busy with the outdoors and working on cars. I have worked on cars since I could hold a wrench and turn a screwdriver. When I first stumbled upon Yahoo Answers, I was a bit overzealous and answered questions too fast. So fast that I missed details about what the person asking the question had asked. Since then I have slowed down and spent time looking up the answers. If I can add to an answer, I will. If I have nothing to add or can not find an answer that does not satisfy me, I won't answer. Occasionally, I will add a bit of humor.
1995 S-10 4.3 V6 5 speed manual clutch problem.?
I have had this truck for over 10 years. It has always had a very stiff clutch. In other words, it is very hard to depress the pedal to the floor. It is so bad that lately it is difficult to engage the safety switch.
My son asked to borrow it last week and told me he could not get it to start. I went out and instead of getting in the truck I put my right foot on the pedal and pushed down. Something broke and the pedal flopped to the side. The clutch still works but it needs to be fixed.
The pedal now flops from side to side but is still connected to the master cylinder and the bracket. I can drive the truck but don't know how long it will last this way. What I want to know is did I break the guide on the master cylinder or did I mess up the way the pedal hangs from the bracket. I am too old (65) and fat to get under the dashboard to see what is going on. I have a diagram that does not seem to match up with what I think I see. http://parts.nalleygmc.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_...
Any help is appreciated. No I don't need an answer from the GM customer service guy. (I know where to take my truck) I am looking for what is really wrong and would appreciate an answer from one of the GM techs on here that have actually worked on S-10s and Sonomas. Fat jokes accepted. My email is in my profile if you want to respond in that way. Thanks to all that contribute on Yahoo! answers.
