Down g56 wont go into gear sometimes

I have a g56 in my 05' and sometimes after I park it, it wont go into any gear at all. It acts like its in gear and the truck starts to very slowly roll while my foots on the clutch. The only way I can get it into gear is to shut the truck down, put the transfer case in neutral, then shift into the gear I want, re-engage the transfer case into 2wd, then while keeping it in gear and my foot on the clutch I fire it up then shes good to go. Whats up with that?

When I bought the truck the Stealership said that they just replaced the clutch and did some upgrade. I've put around 5k on the "new" clutch in 4 months. Granted 3600 of those were when I drove x-country with a gvw of 15,600. Had 3 dirtbikes in the bed and a toyhauler with a car inside, among many other things.

Oh I hear ya, I've worked with enough yahoos to make me skeptical about taking my rigs to stealerships. Just cuz the place is fancy, doesn't mean that their "techs" know there head from their @$$.

maybe also master or slave cylinder for clutch. after you get rolling what you think is shifting is actually just rowing gears

I get that I'm basically rowing gears when I'm moving. My source of confusion comes from the fact that I can't engage reverse,1st, and 2nd. The rest are hard to engage too. But here's the kicker... It only happens every once in a blue moon after ive been driving, shut it down, then come back out. When I shut the truck down it will go right into gear.

So I'll turn the truck off, start it with the clutch engaged. It will try to roll forward if it's in 2nd, then I'll take off and it will be hard to shift into 3rd sometimes. Then after that everything magically works and shifting is smooth as butter again. I can come to stops, turn it off and restart with no issues.

I'm pretty positive that it's a issue with clutch pressure bleed off. Now the question is what's causing this? Slightly low fluid levels on the clutch?

The clutch is dragging...depending on how hot it is, it may be better/worse.

I fought this with a warped pressure plate in a NV5600. It was an aftermarket clutch. In your case, its a dual mass flywheel; and that may be your issue as they are known to be problematic.
