I KNOW MANY FELLOW FORD DIESEL 6 SPD. OWNERS HAVING CLUTCH&TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. FORD DEALERS TELL US IT'S AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I GUESS THAT'S WHY MY TRUCK IS IN DOUGLAS, WY AND I LIVE IN NEEDVILLE, TX

CLUTCH LOCKS UP AND ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS. FAILURES OCCUR WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN THE CLUTCH DISC SPRING POCKETS BREAK, JAMMING THE CLUTCH. IF THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD ADMITS THAT THERE IS A FAILURE PROBLEM WITH CLUTCH DISC. CONSUMER SAYS CLUTCHES ARE LASTING 25K MILES BETWEEN FAILURES. *AK *ML

I AM NOT THE ONLY FORD F-350 TRUCK OWNER HAVING THESE CLUTCH PROBLEMS. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL GUYS WHO HAVE PUT 3 OR MORE CLUTCHES REPLACED UNDER 100,000 MILES. THERE IS DEFINATELY A PROBLEM WITH THESE CLUTCH ASSEMBLIES. THESE TRUCKS ARE SOLD AS SUPER-DUTY WORK TRUCKS, BUT ARE NOT WITHSTANDING THE WORKLOADS THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY BUILT FOR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SATISFACTION. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER.

NO SUMMARY
