ah yeah thats no good...cant buy just the clutch? sounds like a dodge to me >:/
anyhow, my cousin said he would help me with this and you seem pretty expirenced with this stuff... so could you give a reallllly detailed explanation of how to replace the clutch? like a step-by-step

 

I haven't done the clutch job on my truck so my recommendation and even if i had done it I would still recommend you get yourself a haynes chiltons or other repair manual for your truck. It will pay for itself many times over if you plan on keeping that old truck around.. Shouldn't be that hard of a job take off the belt remove the bolt(s) that hold the clutch on might have to use a puller..

 

yeah i read youll need a puller. i actually soaked the clutch in wd40 today, and the knocking got waaay quieter but a new noise started...more of a screeching sound. a friend of mine told me that i could try PB blaster or wd40 to help unsieze the clutch. i ran out of wd40 though so im gonna get more tomorrow and soak it again...see what happens

 

that screeching sound would be the belt slipping because of the oil you got on it.. It'll do that long as it has oil on it. Screech or grinding noise..

 

yeah, tried pb blaster today...didnt do anything for me :/ the clutch never spins at all, its completely still always. how much you think a shop would charge to replace a clutch?

 

$250-350 Id guess. Call around. When you buy parts from a shop they make money off that to so a 80-100 dollar part is 160-200 then an hour or so of labor..

 

lol well ill just buy the part myself, then they cant get me for that. yeah im gonna stop around at some shops in town today
