Re: ‘50 Won’t Go Into Gear - Help
Regarding disabling the ignition, I highly doubt that car is going to start after sitting a long time by bumping the starter in gear.
If you're worried about it taking off, hold the brake pedal when you bump the starter and/or open the garage door and put in in the appropriate gear so if it starts it drives out the door. Jacking the wheels off the floor defeats the purpose. You're trying to force the clutch free from the flywheel. If the wheels spin in the air that will not happen. Lastly, yes disassembly and inspection is the best way to diagnose and repair, but there's a better than fair chance that you have some flash rust on the clutch surfaces that has caused some sticking. Trust me, I've been there and fixed the problem in 2 minutes. |

Re: ‘50 Won’t Go Into Gear - Help
Success!!! I got her into gear.
Before starting her up I popped the clutch about a dozen times then ran her through the gears for a couple minutes. Then, after idling for a couple minutes I slowly eased her into gear. I didn't get to run her on the road yet but did go back in forth in the driveway a few times. Thanks for all the help everyone. |

I'm glad you got it rolling. By the way, a leaking transmission seal can cause the disc to stick, by allowing transmission oil to reach the clutch disc. It happened on my NAA Ford tractor a while back.

Re: ‘50 Won’t Go Into Gear - Help
When this has happened to me I have put the back of the car on 2 jack stands and started it up in gear, pushed in the clutch and then the brake and it has always come free. Never had this hurt the disk. It is usually just the slighted amount of rust which clears off. It doesn't take much to cause the disk to not disengage. Completely disengaged the pressure plate only clears the disk by something like .050.
