    Sitting on the shoulder on I/80 w.b. in a Freightliner Century Classic, Cat C15 with a Eaton fuller transmission thinking my clutch is blown, or tranny. Put it in gear.....nothing, started slipping a couple days ago, mainly in 8th, and 9th(automatic 9th) wondering the cost I should expect

    Yup, its your clutch... if you havent adjusted it, your pedal will be tight to the top. If you have, then you got nothing left of the clutch plates

    Its a good idea to check the rear main seal of the engine too. Its an easy job to swap it out now!!

    Don't just check the rear main seal, replace it, they are a cheap part and everything else is already apart, all the cost in doing one is in the labour.
