Default Re: Clutch won't dis-engage

"IF" it's a "stuck" clutch....that means its "stuck" in drive mode whether the transmission is "IN" gear OR in "NEUTRAL"........OR am I missing something (from the "clutch" side of the equation)? SO....."IF" the clutch is stuck.....you crank the car.....car moves, IN gear or IN neutral!!!! SO....."IF" the clutch is "stuck"....jack the rear wheels OFF the ground.....start the car IN neutral (rear wheels are turning because the clutch is "stuck") THEN just hit the brake!!! Clutch brakes loose from the flywheel surface!! OR......"IF" and this is a big "riskier" IF.....there is enough open space in front of the car, put it in neutral, then crank the car over.....as soon as the car starts to roll, hit the brake peddle!!!! Done both ways several time over the years.
