<OT> transmission help

[Mike Poorboy <bitterrootprop@nidlink.com>]

I need help diagnosing the problem with my clutch on my
Toyota Fourrunner. When I push in the clutch pedal the engine
dies out. This happens even in neutral. I have never had this happen
before. The truck has 270,000 miles on it and the clutch was changed
just about 150,000 ago. I know I need a new clutch and pressure plate.
What i can't understand is why it is doing this in neutral. My best
guess is
a broken finger or spring.

Thanks for any and all help,
Mike
