    2004 international 9200i ZF Meritor freedomline automated transmission.

    While driving and coming to a stop the transmission got stuck in gear. It lurched forward so hard I thought I was rear ended. I had to hold the brakes to stall the truck. I could smell the clutch burn pretty bad. Truck would not start after.

    Towed it the shop. They have not been able to get it out of gear or start it up. They are not getting any fault codes. They advised me today that they need to drop transmission to replace the clutch but they can not gaurantee it will start as there may be more electrical issues.

    Anybody with knowledge of this situation would be grateful appreciated.

    I concur it really sounds as though the clutch failed to release. Gotta start somewhere. These are pretty rare and I have only had the pleasure of digging in a couple times and both times had to dig for info and repair directions. It all takes time which leads to more money. Should find plenty of info on Meritor's website, service manuals and such. Flash codes if I'm not mistaken.

    After reading your post it also sounds like a spring let loose and jammed the clutch plate.

    Looks like you will need someone to get the clutches apart that will cost a pretty penny since autos most times have to be dropped out of truck to get access to all points to repair. How many miles on. Your truck??
