My recently purchased 73 2.0 (the fixer, not the wife's 914 driver) has been sitting a number of years and the clutch is stuck. Clutch pedal is almost to the floor. I verified that the clutch cable, pedal cluster and the clutch tube running through the body are intact. The clutch arm is at about the half way position, not touching either side of the opening in the tranny. Brad Mayuer suggested I try rapid 1st gear accels and decels to see if this would free it up. It didn't work, but since the motor mounts are toast, I'm not sure how much shock I can actually apply to the clutch by doing this since the engine was bouncing up and down. I'm sure the neighbors thought this was hilarious, especially after the engine lid opened by itself....."No, really, I'm doing this on purpose...." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I'm thinking of trying to install some (grade 8?) bolts and spacers as solid motor mounts, as I don't want to destroy new stock engine mounts doing this again. Or should I go ahead and yank the trans to see what is going on? Any and all tips / tricks / advice on how to unstick the clutch without removing the trans would be greatly appreciated. |
