People on the Barn have reported that is method works: This is what John is recommending in the post above. This is assuming that the clutch and brakes are properly adjusted.

Put the rearend on jackstands so that the wheels are off the ground. Start the engine and warm it up in neutral. Stop the engine and put the car in high gear. Start the engine and rev it moderately. Push the clutch pedal to the floor and then stomp on the brake.

I broke free a clutch this way but it was on a car with a single plate clutch. I don't have any experience with multiple disk clutches.

Step on the gas, for tomorrow I die. Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past. Last edited by nkaminar; 07-16-2025 at 04:21 AM.
