none.
didnt run.

but on way home.
downshift to 3rd gear for passing on highway.
3rd gear does not want to go in. push slightly harder think nothing of it. let clutch out. crunch. doesnt seem too bad i dont really notice the noise seeing as how it wasnt that loud.
then i notice my rpms rising but the speed falling...hmmm in 4th gear by now like WTF? limp home in 1st and 2nd gear between 4 and 6k rpms about 2 miles from home got stuck on a stupid ass lakeland hill. game over. enjoyable clutch smell filling the air and the sound of bits of *something* inside fill me with hatred towards it. the smell of a charcoal barbeque grill makes me think i exploded something. pedal pressure is zero.

me vs. stock clutch with 638xx on it:
me 1
clutch 0
clutch owned!

i dont know exactly what to diagnose it as seeing as how im not a master of knowledge when it comes to trannies. i know the parts but dont know what the hell is wrong with it. thank god for a v8 tundra driving dad with super duper tow strap action.

Sorry to hear it man. :( My clutch glazes over from time to time and Im sure someday Ill be dealing with the same thing you did.

Btw what is that crazy animated gif in your sig all about?

i dunno some old video of some guy getting hit on the head witha shovel (its better in full size with sound)..but i found this with the OWNED on it! heheh :D

damn this was like a month ago almost. my new clutch is working fine now except the shop forgot something on my shifter since i can pull it up and out of the slot in the tranny so i will investigate this weekend before riding out to gville. i need wire cutters which i dont have right now and i dont feel like buying more zip ties for the boot under there since i have like 1000000 at home. every time i have taken a car to that shop they forget someting...like hooking up the cruise control on my camry when they did some oil seals. which they didnt replace just looked at and then replaced two other leaky gaskets and called it a day :mad:
