Yesterday, as promised, I helped my buddy Loc take the transmission out his truck to replace the clutch, which he suspected was bad. The truck had stopped moving on under its own power and letting out the clutch while the engine idled wouldn't cause the engine to stall.
So, we took it apart. That's no easy task, BTW, since it is a 4WD truck and there's a transfer case stuck onto the transmission making it longer
and heavier than a normal transmission. When we finally got everything apart, we discovered this-
That's a clutch plate that has been
completely used up, if you've never seen one before. Here's another picture to show you the before and after so that you can see what they are
supposed to look like.
We didn't get the job finished yesterday because taking everything apart took much longer than expected and the flywheel still needs to spend a couple hours at the machine shop.
So I guess the job gets finished next weekend...
