I can pry the fork back to the engaged position with a bar. When i release the fork it springs back to the disengaged position! shouldn't spring pressure be pushing the fork in the engaged position instead. What could be doing this? What parts will i probably need to replace?
The clutch was replaced 3 times by some shoddy mechanic. now my friend wants me to help fix it but i've never done a S10 clutch.
Also my friend said when he saw the trans out of the truck the last time the clutch was redone, he noticed that the transmission input shaft had a large amount of lateral play (over 1"). Is this normal or is the trans going bad.
Would hate to replace the clutch only to find out that the trans is bad. A used trans costs about $350.

First of all, this should be a hydraulic clutch. Did you try opening the bleeder to see if the slave would come back?
As for the tranny, do you realize how much play you are talking here? That would mean that the input shaft bearing is gone, totally, not to mention the input shaft housing would have to be almost if not totally non-existent.
