F250 1986 pickup-360 striaght 6 -borg warner trans 4speed.
problem-(car is off) goes into all the gear fine clutch pedal missing slightly.
when the truck is running and in (N) it will NOT go into any of the gears. if i start the truck in gear withthe pedla press down (clutch pedal) when i goto release it the truck jumps ALOT and makes kinda a grinding noise near the bell housing. also (im not sure if this is a problem) but the transfer case will tork and kinda bend down a little looks normal. but the noise is kinda a da,da,da,da,da,da like somthing spinning and it hits it every rotation.

Yep, sounds like a clutch problem to me, too.  One Saturday with a buddy to swap in a new one.  Most clutches come with a new throw out bearing, alignment tool, and sometimes a new pilot bushing.  If it doesn't come with a new pilot bushing get a new one of those, too.  The clutch linkage or clutch fork may also be worn so while you got it apart, might as well check it all out.

i redid my first clutch in one long weekend, my advice is first check the clutch master and slave cylinder if it is a hydraulic system, make sure they are all in good shape, however the noise sounds like internal problem


second piece of advice, get the bottom of the truck pressure washed, or better yet steam cleaned, and let it dry over night, you will be 100 times happier versus working on a dirty truck, I litterally threw all my clothes away after doing the clutch on my old jeep.


 


good luck
