Default Re: Clutch stuck

I probably shouldn't post this here but it worked for me years ago. I have a cousin who has an early 28 that he wanted to put in the 4th of Juy parade. I hadn’t been driven for years. I was somehow successful in getting it to start (before the current crap gas). Unfortunately the clutch would not release so we could shift the gears. I presented a suggestion and my cousin said go for it. We put the rear of the car up on two stacks of wood blocks, put it in reverse and started the car. Once it was running smoothly my cousin pushed the car in the reverse direction forcing the car off the blocks. Once the wheels hit the ground the clutch freed up so we could drive in the parade. By the way, this was a dirt driveway. This could be risky as you might break the drive shaft or a u-joint. Supergnat
