Posted by: 914fire Apr 7 2005, 01:08 PM

When i get in my teener after it hasn,t been driven in months, and I push in the pedal the clutch doesnt disengage. I can get rolling throw it in gear drive a ways then pump the pedal hear a pop and it works again . Does anybody know what this is?

The disc was rusted to the flywheel. Pretty common problem in stored cars. The Cap'n

Yup, I have had the same problem after letting the car sit too long. It's a bit like your rotors rusting and the pads sticking to them. Once you get going and the plate cleans up the problem shoudn't persist.
