    I’m having some issues on my manual transmission 2003 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Truck stopped going into gear and I lost pressure in my clutch pedal. I assumed the issue was either a slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder. Also I knew my clutch was needing to be replaced soon. I tore everything out and replaced the clutch disk, fly wheel, pressure plate, slave cylinder, and clutch master cylinder. After completing this project I bled the lines until I saw no more air in the lines. Once everything appeared to be good I started her up and realized that my shifter is somehow stuck in a gear. My 4x4 shifter can free float the transfer case gears no problem but my regular shifter is stuck.. any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is my first project I’ve done on my truck and am new to a lot of this. Thank you for any advice

    Try having someone push the clutch pedal and you visually verify the slave is moving. Possibly need to adjust clutch pedal. Possible bent or cracked clutch fork.

    Good luck.

    Thanks! I ended up taking it into a local shop. Somehow the truck was stuck into gear from inside the transmission so they had to go inside and fix it
