Extreme angle - clutch failure
Hi - I like to climb snowbanks. I got the $%# scared out of me on
Saturday. I went up this steep bank, and the angle started getting extreme. I was in Low-4. As I started getting uncomfortable, I disengaged the clutch to stop climbing. IT DIDN"T DISENGAGE! It lurched forward and upwards at a steeper angle. My receiver hitch bottomed out and I could have flipped backwards. Fortunately, The engine stalled. I heard 3 beeps as well just before it stalled. I freaked out. After the stall I was stuck up there - pushed in clutch to come back down, but the angle prevented me from coming backwards. Started the engine after a bit of hesitation (fuel had to get from the tank to the engine) and i put it in reverse and came down slowly. Freaky experience. What happened? |

Mechanical clutch, take a look at your body mounts... Hydraulic, take a look at your fluid level. No idea what the beeps were, maybe you were at such an angle a "Check Guage" alarm went off. <Thoth1126@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1171303305.742905.293560@a75g2000cwd.googlegr oups.com... > Hi - I like to climb snowbanks.

Re: Extreme angle - clutch failure
That sounds like your clutch is 'really' low on fluid. I would be check
the MC and if low be looking for leaks. If this is your TJ? If not, look to Matt's post.

Yep its TJ Really low - it's full - I'll check it but I think the angle caused the line to be empty. I'm telling you - I was in the 11:55 o'clock position!! I'll check the fluid level after work |

I have been at the 11:59 position before in a hydrualic clutched Jeep and
