Hey guys I'm new to the forum so hopefully I'm doing this in the right spot. As the title says I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.2 v8 and a 5spd transmission. I'm having some issues with it right now. Its having a hard time working its way through the gears. Today I put it in reverse and it didn't want to spit it back out. Even with the engine off I tried working through the gears and when I put it in reverse it didn't want to let go of it. I checked my hydraulic clutch fluid and it was full. I'm not sure if its just time to replace the clutch or if it is somehow out of adjustment. Any advice you guys have would be much appreciated.

 

if it only in reverse and it still acts the same with the motor off then its not you clutch. theres probably something wrong with your reverse

 

Its not just reverse its grinding a little when I put it in fifth. It also shifts hard into the other gears too

 

Check fluid level in the trans.
