I've been driving the "new" brown truck around town before I do the swap just to see if I can make anything pop so I can fix those issues at the same time.

I was driving on the highway at ~60mph today and all of a sudden the rpms climbed way up. Coasted to the side of the road, and it acted like I had the clutch in when it wasn't when I tried to take off again. After I had it towed back home, I peeked in the inspection hole and the fingers on the pressure plate are flat as though the clutch is engaged. Something made an staccato hissing noise for a moment before it went, maybe the slave pissed brake fluid all over the clutch/flywheel?

Congrats !! Your clutch just blew up. What are you swapping ??
 
2.3 turbo

Previous owner said it had a new clutch put in recently (hard to tell with the mad torque of the 2.3, but it hit decent) ... I bet they left the original slave in though. 180,000 mile slave go *pop*?
