[ROVERNET - UK] She won't budge...

[Linda & Ben Rodgers]

Hi Tom
         Sounds like the clutch disc is stuck to the fly wheel. I had
the same problem with a TC that had sat idle for several years. I
managed to free it by slipping a very thin knife blade in at the timing
hole, you can turn the fly wheel over with a large screw driver, and you
will see parts of the pressure plate where you can pass the knife thru.
Do this all the way around,  be careful not to damage the disc and
hopefully it will release . Mine didn't release immediately, so I put
the car in reverse and backed up using the starter, it came free almost
right away. Hope this helps
                                           Ben
