Thanks for any help you can offer...
I drive a roll-off truck for a demolition company, and I'm under the gun because my clutch puked after 28K miles. The pedal went to the floor yesterday, and our mechanic said the throwout bearing was broken. The clutch was re-done at 210K miles ... less than a year ago. The truck is a Mack 350 w/8 Speed Eaton-Fuller.

We're hard on the clutch sometimes due to the nature of the work we do, but I'm as gentle on it as I can be, most of the time. The problem is that I don't think everything was just right when they replaced it the last time. Initially it felt normal, but I noticed every so often that the pedal was hard to push and the throw was very choppy and coarse. I told our mechanic several times that it felt like a very frayed cable running over a pully ... it would do this a few times every day, but the rest of the time it felt normal.

Any ideas what might have been causing this so I can defend myself when I get blamed for tearing up the equipment?

Many Thanks

How many times was the throwout bearing lubed since the clutch was put in? Probably never. You should look at it and see if it is dry. Unless you are in charge of lubing the truck it's not your fault.

I'll try to check that out when they get it apart this week.
Thanks
