2007 FG140 Transmission Issue

Hi Everyone,
I have 2007 FG140 that occasionally will not allow me to shift it out of first gear with the clutch pushed. This usually happens when I am pulled up on an embankment and trying to turn around. In order to get the truck into reverse and backup I have to turn the engine off, take it out of gear and then restart the motor. I know this sounds goofy but it happens. The only thing I can think of is that the input shaft of the transmission is dragging slightly on the pilot bushing in the end of the crankshaft.

I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen?

Thanks
Eric

don't know much about the fg140 but in general it could be the hydraulic master cylinder starting to bypass the piston seals after you have held preasure on it for a while like riding the clutch. try giving the clutch pedal a quick pump and see if that helps

Thanks for the input everyone. It would seem like linkage would be the next place too look. If I come up with anything conclusive I will report back. Thanks again. Safe travels.
