Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The clutch failed to disengage properly and placed me in a hazardous driving situation. this clutch is hydraulically operated and a dealer repair was to replace the clutch master cylinder. this did not correct the problem. i investigated the operation of the clutch and found the cab firewall, where the clutch master cylinder is bolted to it, does not have enough strength to support the clutch operational stresses applied to it. this firewall had started to separate and allowed the clutch master cylinder to move when it was actuated, thereby the clutch was not able to disengage.*ak
