I heard someone make a comment recently about you should never push in a clutch if your clutch is under water such as a water crossing. Anyone know why that would be and what problems that would cause?

Well the problem that I can see and that DID happen to me on a wheeln trip, I was crossing a rapid stream, water up to the head lights, engine started spuddering so I nailed the gas, and made it to dry land. Well the caravan decided to stop on the other side and I stoped. WEll turned out, I couldn't shift gears with the motor rolln. Seams that there was somthing loged in there. what a sucky feeling of the clutch not working 6 hrs from home. so I restarted it in gear and moved a couple feet, depressed the clutch a couple times and it began to work again, a MIRACLE!!!!. SO figure when shifting between 1-2 in water comething was logged in there or just got lodged in there period, HATE DEEP WATER  |

Hey Ben! You could always get those springs above the axles for more clearance. Might help keep things dry.

Well I don't know how deep it was on Sunday, up to the bumpers I think that someone said. In an effort to try to not make a wake, I was in 1st but to get out I had to go into 2nd thus needing the use of the clutch. Just didn't understand the original comment that I had heard.
