lesson learn from ADA run

I learn some new thing on the ADA run. First if you get stuck in mud turn you engine off while trying to figure the best extraction method. My clutch went out due to mud as my jeep idle it kept filtering the mud through the fingers of the clutch pressure plate. When I push in the clutch petal the mud kept the clutch disengaged and would not grab. Second lesson before you take everything apart spray the clutch with water real good. After having the pressure plate out I use a hose and washed out the mud and watch it go back to normal. Lesson three jeeps don't swim stay out of the deep mud.

ha no way jeeps take to water like ducks.........well for short periods of time anyways.........glad to hear it was some thing simple ....cameron

Well I might not of taken as deep of a bath as you but I did bring home some water from Rausch..

Pulled down the front diff to replace the leaking axle seal I knew about and everything was full of water..

Waiting till the morning to try and find a new set of Warn Premium hubs.. The springs are rusty and I dont want to take a chance..

Good to hear it was something simple and not major.

I'm still putting in a new clutch. Even that everything may be fine I have this fear of putting the used clutch back in and having to do all over again. I got water in tranfercase front and rear diff. Today I put new front output seal in transfercase and change front and rear diff fliud. Trans looks good nice and clear. Should have it back together this coming weekend or next.

all this is why I gave up running the Pine Barrens.
