Multi disk clutch still stuck

[Bob Johnson]

Well, I tried several things. I put jack stands under the rear to get the rear tire off the ground. I started the engine with the transmission in neutral. Then I warmed up the engine. Once the engine was warmed up I shut off the engine, put the transmission in 3rd gear and started the engine. With the clutch pedal depressed I tried pressing the accelerator on and off quickly. This was done with the clutch pedal depressed at several positions including all the way in. Next I tried pressing the brake pedal with the engine running a fairly high speed. Again with various positions of the clutch pedal. I tried this with a slow push of the brake pedal and also slamming the brake pedal. The only thing that happened was a smell of brake linings. Looks like the clutch has to be removed. Anyone have additional suggestions.


If I remove the clutch I thing it would be best to replace the multi-disk clutch with the later single disk clutch. The owner does not care if it is not the correct one for the car. To do that I will need a RHD clutch housing for a single disk clutch. I will have a multi disk to trade. Any help would be appreciated.
