my spree Bucks like letting off a clutch to fast in a truck

Post by apephoto222 »

Hello,
another problem has started and its only on takeoffs, When i start to give it throttle 80% of the time it dogs the engine and it feels as if it was like "bucking" or f-ing / back and fourth. Would this be the clutch and what would be going on.

During the ride though it seems to do fine, only on takeoffs it "bucks". If anyone could help me out id sure appreacate it.

Thanks

remove the transmission cover and have a look, sounds like a clutch issue...

Having a Look

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

I don't understand the symptoms very well from your description. Does the engine rev up with power? The clutch/transmission engages, then disengages, then hits again in a cyclic pattern? I hope not, but it might be that the variator and/or clutch are jumping splines... :(

"Having a look" would seem to require at least a little dismantling.
