Burnt clutch

I smoked the clutch so bad it was billowing out and I fully expected the truck to burst into flames. The smoking eventually stopped. Now the clutch isn't slipping and feels solid but the clutch pedal requires twice the pressure. What's broken? I'm not a moron and I know what I'm doing, and by that I mean I know was going to break something but it was an emergency. Please be gentle

 

Trying to prevent an end-oven-end roll down a cliff???

 

It's safe to assume the pressure plate (the spring that holds the clutch to the flywheel) is damaged, likely forks aren't releasing properly due to damage.

I would have it inspected or replaced soon than later, this way you can have the flywheel machined, any further driving may damage the flywheel past the point of simple resurfacing.

 

Even if it was a failed burn out I'd wanna see the video!

 

Speed record for rock crawling uphill in a torrential downpour while my buddy was holding his nearly severed hand. Small, medium boulders, ledges, mud, a lot of water and blood everywhere. It was like Newman trying to run the winch. Not a good day.

 

That's worthy!...sub'd

 

WTF???

 

Gosh, and I was hoping for an interesting story...

 

Appreciate that. It's amazing I didnt bottom on anything. I think one of my steps took a good hit though. I also didnt mention I've never climbed rocks like this before

 

The Hand...what happened to the HAND!!!! Lolz

 

@TeecoTaco It got cut, bad, almost severed... just kidding. I'm interested to know too.

 

We're on a precipice here...then what? Don't leave us hanging OP

On topic tho...drop the tranny and inspect. Nothing good came out of that.

Now....THE HAND!

 

It was a trail ive done for years but I only go down this rock part, the trail exits to a main road so I never attempted to go up or, never wanted to try. Problem is the storm we were in took a tree down blocking the trail about a 100 yds past the rocks. Chainsaw comes out. You ever do that one handed chainsaw swing thing...well I guess neither did he, he misses his target by far and hits his arm like he was aiming for it. He went straight through his radius and everything in between. A tooth of the chain got stuck halfway through his ulna. We couldn't get it off due to all of his whining. I was smashing the chain with something I dont even remember, a rock i guess, my mind was trying not to make memories of this shit. I managed to break the chain loose and hes standing there spraying blood everywhere as chunks of his arm are falling to the floor in the pouring rain like a horror movie with about a foot of chain dangling off his arm and hes just staring at me. I did the only thing I could think of and zip tied the shit out of his arm and threw a bungee cord on it, it stopped spurting. We got in the truck and thats when I proceed to break everything. We met an ambulance about five miles away. Truck is still in the mountains and 6 hours later hes still in surgery.

 

Good luck with the clutch, and better luck to your buddy.

 

Oh my! Hope he's ok

 

Keep us updated...

 

Woof. Gotta be careful with chainsaws cuz when things go south they go QUICK. hope your buddy's ok and gets to use his hand again.

 

Holy fuck man! Kudos to you for saving your buddy and putting him over the truck. Sucks to fuck up your truck but sounds like this could of saved his life without your quick actions

 

Its fucked up but it would be a miracle. He had shards of bone and christ it was fucked up. medical science is amazing but idont know. Shit was fucked up. I worked on an ambulance and this shit was fucking traumatizing
