THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED, THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THE 1994 POWER STROKE TRUCKS. IN FACT THE DEALER IN THE AREA STATED ON 10-23-99 THIS IS THE WEAK LEAK OF THE 94'S. BY ALL INFO THAT I HAVE GATHERED FORD KNOWS THIS AND MADE A DESIGN CHANGE IN THE 95 MODEL YEAR. AND THE RESONS THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL IS BECAUSE IT IS ISOLATED TO JUST THE 94'S. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, POWERING UP TO MERGE IN WHEN THE CLUTCH UNLOADED. ANY ASSSITANCE OR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SUBJECT WOULD BE GREATLY APPERCIATED. THANK YOU COLIN FARRELL
