It turns out to be the manual linkage. I was out wheelin in the rain and mud. I had made several runs through one pit...the last time I got crossed up in the ruts...So I had to work at it to get out. I heard a loud POP from under my feet, the pedal went to floor and I was in about 2 feet of mud/water. Starting to snow too. I couldn't see the linkage from underneath cause the water was too deep....So I looked at it from under the hood. The threaded rod that engages the release arm had bent to a 90* angle. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif Luckily I was about 1/2 mile from the junk yard, so I walked down there and got the parts I needed to fix it....Used the phone to call a buddy to yank me out so I could work on it. I was soooooo cold that I think I coulda cut my finger off and not felt it. And to top it all off, I lost my new Mag-Lite that my girlfriend gave me for X-mas. That upset me more than anything cause she gave it to me. I actually borrowed a metal detector, and went out the next day and found it....In about 2 feet of mud. Took it home, cleaned it up, put new batteries in it, and it works good as new.
So the moral of the story is....GO HYDRO. I'm going to ASAP. I've almost never been as miserable and cold as I was when I had to lay in the mud at night under my truck and fix that $hit. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
