I took my truck on a 20 mile drive the other day down to the body shop. After i got off the freeway and pulled in i backed up and the chatter was so bad i almost got whiplash. I pulled forward and it did it as well, but is way worse in reverse. I dont notice it much when i just drive it on short drives. Do you think a long drive could cause this? Clutch not adjusted properly and is slipping on the freeway? I would think if it was slipping for 20 miles it would be so burnt or glazed that it wouldnt work at all. Any insight on this? thanks

You might have some oil leakage getting on the clutch. Look for dripping.


if it dosen't need fixed, break it

Check the motor mounts as well.

if my truck leaks oil i cant tell there is never even a drop on the ground. how would the motor mounts cause this? Does it sound like a flywheel that might be heat checked or something? Anyone with much experience doing a clutch and flywheel on this style truck and might have some insight on pointers or anything?
