    Hi guys, brand new to the forum and would like to kick it off witch asking a few questions about my ride. I have a 99 2.7 lifted 3inches. I had a clutch kit and flywheel put in about a year ago. Lately the thing has gotten to where you can hardly pull out in it without it shaking and all most jarring me out of the truck. It has gotten to the point where I can barely get it in gear when sitting still and some grinding into gear while driving. As of yesterday the starter has started grinding horribly bad when starting up and I'm hoping it is stemming from the same problem. Anybody have any thought and ideas of what my problem is? Thanks a bunch!!

    Master and Slave seem to be fine. If the flywheel is loose do you guys think I would need a new one or just resurface it?

    Ok guys, it finally stopped raining today so I got to do a little investigating on my truck. All bolts were tight, nothing looks out of the ordinary from the outside. If I try starting the truck with it in gear it doesn't do anything. Press the clutch in it will start right up with the awful grinding of course. But it acts like it's already trying to jump forward. Is there any other test I can do to pinpoint what the problem is? I would like to figure it out so I can buy all the parts while I hVe the cash. Would my best bet be to just go ahead and buy a clutch kit and plan on getting the flywheel resurfaced or what do you guys think? Thanks a lot!!'
