Pressure plate failing?

JasonNC

I mentioned in a previous post that my clutch seemed to be slipping at higher speeds. It has gotten worse in that it did the same thing when I went around a curb.  Now it’s to the point that  the transmission disengages periodically regardless of speed or the terrain.  I have to let off the gas for it to re-engage.  I don’t think it’s the overdrive because it does the same thing when the overdrive is switched off.  Any suggestions?

Sounds like you need a new clutch plate. The corks are worn to a point that they won't grab under pressure and slip. Had the same thing on a Terraplane I had years ago.

Thanks.  I will see what I can do about replacing it.
