You guys are going to love this one!
I started down a steep, paved hill, in creeper gear. As the gears
started to wind up I thru in the clutch to shift from creeper
gear to second or third. Before I had a chance to get it out
of gear, I was slammed against the dash as one of the rear wheels
must of locked! Left 25 feet of rubber on the road!
(Maybe If I had a chance to get my seatbelt on
I would have known more of what had happen). When The Van was
almost at a stop, I got off the dash and back in to the driver
seat and pulled it out of low, drifted to the bottom of the hill.
At that time I reallized the clutch was not dissengaging.
Couldn't get it into any gear. Obviously there was a major failure
in the clutch! MY question, is there damage to the transmission?
I have to take it out anyway, how can I check it out?
Thanks for Your info a head of time!
P.S. Removed the clutch disk late last night. The G forces
Ripped it apart!
