My 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500hd 4x4 6.6 manual trans won’t shift gears while running and will with [engine](/topics-engine-chevy/) off, also the clutch engages at floor which never did before. Very hard to press down. Please help me. Mechanic's Assistant: Has the clutch been slipping? Are you having any trouble shifting? I wasn’t until the other day I went to shift and it reved higher than normal without me pushing the accelerator. And I smelled a burning smell. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model of your '05 Chevy? Silverado 2500hd Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? I would like to as money is tight. I have eliminated any fuses, verified the master cylinder and slave are in working order, no leaks of any kind, and the clutch isn’t a year old. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No that’s everything.

It sounds like a clutch problem. Did you get any warranty when you replaced it?

a 2 year warranty for partsNot laborCan I just replace the pressure plate?
Automotive Expert
You can. Are you doing it yourself?

sir. Thanks have to because of money. I thought it would be the throw out bearing because of it being so far the the floor for engaging and the amount of pressure it requires to depress the clutchI have to\*
Automotive Expert
Hope that fixes the problem.

Do you think that could be it or just the pressure plate?

Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* thank you for using just answer. The site will prompt a phone call, but that is not always necessary. If it is necessary later in the conversation, I will propose it. I am sorry you are having this concern, but I will do my best to assist you. You will need to remove the trans and take a look at what is damaged. Make sure to check the dual mass [flywheel](/topics-flywheel-chevy/), those are known for failure. If the truck sees heavy duty use, I recommend upgrading to a solid flywheel. Hope this helps, thank you. Kyle S.
