I drive a different day cab,(manual 10 speed Pete, ) everyday, some of them have clutches that are very worn out, and I get to grind the hell out of em. Write it up , but the shop does nothing ...so I go on ,caring even less, and ignore all the folks that may or may not be wondering why I am tearing #### up.

From what i have seen in the past these trucks " mega carrier" had a brake clutch when they were new then the multiple drivers that drive them simply worn out the brake clutch and the carrier just don't bother to fix them!

Besides that I don't know of a heavy truck that doesn't have a clutch brake. Besides those that are work out. The clutch brake is never used after the truck is rolling. -
