I think you may have a partaily frozen fuel line. Try putting some isopropyl dry gas in the tank. Let it work for an hour or so. The methonal stuff doesn’t work as well. It may be that simple with the low temps we are having.
It sounds like the clutch is never coming disengaged. Air in the line would not do that. Were the parts you installed identical to the parts removed? The height of the pressure plate and width of the throw out bearing could be wrong.

If you have a doner vehicle and some fabrication skills it could definitely be done. I don’t know if I would go to the trouble. Diesel is more expensive, and if you don’t need the extra torque it may not be worth it.

Hey Andy,
I have a few suggestions for you. If you drive a chisel into the crack made by the Dremel tool it will most likely spread, and loosen right up. If you have access to a cutting torch, it is possible to cut the nut without damaging the cv shaft. You just cut the side off the nut. Hope this helps you.Hey Andy,

If you get off center drilling out the bolt, you can correct with a die grinder fitted with a shallow tapered bit. Coat the bit with bees wax to cut aluminium. This prevents the bit from becoming fouled with the soft aluminium.

Hi Dave, You may have a soft vacuum line. Sometimes they collapse and act like a reed. Look at the pcv hose, I’ve seen those get squishy before.

Hello Alex. Someone may have left out the pilot bushing/bearing because of poor bell housing to crankshaft alignment. You can check the alignment with an indicator if the bell housing is removable from the transmission. Many bell housings are quite far out. If the pilot surface is worn on the transmission input shaft, you have misalignment. The Toyota trucks I’ve seen do have pilot bearings.

I wish that was available when I was in school. I’m sure I will use this helpful site in the future. Thank you AUwarrior!
