1994 CHEVROLET C1500 Power Train Problems

BEGAN TO PARK, DEPRESSING CLUTCH TO NO EFFECT WITH TRUCK STAYING IN GEAR. WOULD NOT GO INTO NEUTRAL. KEPT MOVING WITH BREAKS ON AND CLUTCH DEPRESSED. FOUND MASTER CYLINDER FOR CLUTCH BROKEN AND LEAKING FLUID. BOUGHT NEW MASTER CYLINDER ONLY TO FIND NOTICE IN BOX IF PART WAS BROKEN WHERE IT WAS CRACKED GM HAD TECHNICAL LETTER OUT AND CYLINDER WARRANTY WOULD NOT BE HONORED. TURNS OUT TO SAVE THE COST OF A GREAS ZERCK NO POINT OF LUBRICATION WAS PROVIDED FOR THE FORK ARM BALL WHICH LEADS TO FAILURE. COST TO HAVE 85 CENT GREASE ZERCK INSTALLED BY GM DEALER IS $500 DOLLARS. THE FORK IS ANOTHER $1000 AS QUOTED BY DEALER.

Mileage: 300,000

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE NEW. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION QUIT SHIFTING INTO 3-4 ON 3-20-05. TRANSMISSION REQUIRED REBUILD. UPON DISASSEMBLY I DISCOVERED THE 3-4 ACCUMULATOR PUMP SPRING WAS NOT INSTALLED IN THE TRANSMISSION SO THE 3-4 GEARS HAVE BEEN RUNNING OVER VOLUME AND PRESSURE FROM DAY ONE LEADING TO EVENTUAL FAILURE. NEW PART WILL BE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED.
