Sluggish truck after clutch replacement?
Hi guys, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is going on with my truck. I was driving the other day down the road. When I was about to take off on the stop sign, I was about to stall, so I tried to save it by putting in the clutch. However the truck jumped violently. After I took off a sharp and nasty sound came about. It sounds like if someone was feeding a piece of cardboard into a fan. I kept on driving and the sound reduced in sound, I immediately thought it was the clutch. On the days after that I kept on driving the truck. However there was now a constant sound coming from the undercarriage on the passenger side which sounded like a rattle every time I let go of the gas and the truck was on idle, also the truck because sluggish and it didn't sound the same. I assumed it was do to the bad clutch. So today my friend changed the slave cylinder and clutch. I thought that everything would be solved. The sound went away, but now the truck seems sluggish and has a hard time coming up to speed. The truck doesn't sound the same when I start it up, before the clutch issues when I would turn on the truck, she would be loud do to the magnaflow it has, also when I would rev it up between 2500 and 3000 to change gears, and now no more of that 😔 hahah
Could it be some other part or something in the engine? Did I blew something else from the clutch

Did you torque everything down to spec on the pressure plate?

Re: Sluggish truck after clutch replacement?
Does the engine when not in gear sound healthy and rev up just fine without misfiring or anything?

Re: Sluggish truck after clutch replacement?
Yes it does, it sounds good and loud specially because u can hear the muffler. But when in gear the sluggishness takes over

Re: Sluggish truck after clutch replacement?
Assuming the clutch MC is ok did you readjust the clutch pedal friction zone? The jerking motion you described is the only thing puzzling me, does the tranny go into all gears just fine?
