2 weeks ago we went to a meeting when we arrived the deuce wouldn‘t shift,
the clutch didn‘t work. After some inspections under the truck we found nothing so the problem gets bigger . We removed the small metal plate of the flywheel-housing .There’s a piece of metal falling out that looks like a piece of a spring ( that looks like problems ) With a flash-light we could see the disk and the springs , one is broken so there must be more pieces inthere but we couldn‘t found them. The deuce doesn‘t go anywhere like this. Didn‘t have the right tool to pull the transmission, next option towing ! . Sounds easy but there’s only a gmc cckw that looks big enough but will it work.We test it first. The answer to that is NO ! .It will move the deuce with a top-speed of 15mph and in a corner when the gmc goes left or right the goes straight-ahaed and push the gmc of the road.The deuce is just to heavy for a gmc .So we decide we park the deuce at a field of some members and fix it later that week.
After a few day’s i went back with the right tools and replaced the clutch-disk, found out that all the springs where broken and one piece of it got stuck between the disk and the flywheel ( that’s why he won‘t engage ). I replaced the disk only 6 years ago. Hope the new disk will hold longer.
