I would say your best bet is to first get your manuals, parts and service. There may be more than one manual and so there may be a separate manual for the U/C. Depending upon how it is driven--clutch or TC (torque converter)-- will help you look at the best approach as to troubleshoot the failure and what the costs will be. If it is torque converter driven, you will want to go to NAPA and get a gauge set, and, with the manual, you will be able to check system presures to see if they are within specification at the main control valve. This type of testing will help you find the locus of the failure. It could be a dry or wet clutch. Then you might have toasted the lining and probably will want to take the engine out and have the flywheel redone and the clutch plate resurfaced. This would be the cheapest failure in terms of cost. This could be a very costly repair running in the thousands depending what went wrong. The TC type machine is far more costly to fix. Without knowing the full facts it is tough to predict. To lessen the chances of this happening again try not to use the poping the clutch on any fixed object. Poping the clutch to remove a stump is very hard on the whole drivetrain and tears up a lot of stuff. Example, if your tracks are lose or worn, you can take teeth off a rear sprocket, break transmissions, twist final drives, twist and warp truck frames,.... It is best to cut the stump out from behind if possible or cut to the side in a v pattern and then push it in and the old rule, full power with full speed kills machines. It is no fun to have that happen and it is always seems to happen when you are far away from home with no tools. Best of luck
