Default Re: Clutch won’t release

Here’s a way us old timers used to do it get the engine warm then shut it OFF have someone sit in there and hold the pedal down put it in second gear get a couple strong buddy’s over and rock it back and forth may take some time so get them a couple beers and make sure the ignition is OFF good luck

I've had this happen to me,. It was years ago and my boss at the Shell station towed me up to the "old guy" in town who lived on a dead-end street. Rope or chain tow :-)
He told me to warm it up, put it in gear and start it up. Immediate release. Charge $0 :-)

He also had a lift and was setup to deal with solid front axles. So he did my alignment on my '40.
