Thread: While coasting the drive went

Without previous symptoms a clutch failure seems to me rather unlikely unless it had a sudden oil bath, and if the pedal feels normal it sounds even more unlikely. The burning rubber smell may be a red herring, possibly related to the over revving when it failed to drive. One possibility is the final failure of the splines on the gearbox output shaft or the rear axle drive flanges, but either is very easy to diagnose.

He found out today. Clutch is shot, the c plate is loose and the Transfer case had **** itself also, broken a cog

In the dark by the time a theif gets it started and works out the problem I will have enough time to beat the living life out of them , load them in the empty 44 drum and head off fishing for the day about 35km out at sea

Hmm, that accounts for the fast forming reef 35km out to sea from your place. And I thought it was an infra-red annomoly on the satellite imagery. I was going to reposition another spy satellite with marine radar capability to investigate it. But you just saved the company the expense.

Clutch GURU from work says...

If its nothing else the friction plate has torn its locating rivets and is spinning on its drive plate.
