Hey all, I tried so hard not to ask this question but finaly broke down. I am currently in the process of getting a 2.0L with tail-shifter tranny ready to put in the car. It looks like it is going to be a while before it is ready and I want to drive the car some. Here is the skinny:
1971 1.7L, FI, tail-shifter. Engine runs clutch won't disengage. There is tension on the clutch pedal when depressed, and the fork moves at the trans. I have tried adjusting, and with the adjustment all the way and clutch is still engaged. Could it be the throw-out bearing? I know I should just drop the trans and take a look, just wandering with all the wisdom here if anybody has some ideas for me. |

Had a friend that had the same problem only with a MG midget. Car would start but the clutch was rusted to the flywheel & pressure plate pretty bad. Luckly he had a long (about a 150ft.) down hill drive way. Told him to put it in first gear keep his foot on the clutch. Then turn the on the key & start it as I pushed him down the hill till the car started. Then when the car starts & runs accelerate & decelerate hard & fast (don't forget to keep your foot on the clutch petal all the way depressed). Took about 100ft. & the clutch broke free.
Like I said he did this in his drive way, I would'nt recomend doing this out on the streets. Good luck Ralph |
