Is it possibled your clutch tube has broken free? Are you able to tighten the cable and have it stay tight?

Make sure you exhaust every possible way to disengage the clutch. You may need to use a pry bar against the clutch fork to make sure the clutch is disengaged. Be careful!!

QUOTE(fixer34 @ Dec 4 2020, 05:21 PM)  I think the key is this statement in the original post. "Clutch was never separated from the pressure plate." If the pressure plate is removed, the clutch disc will fall out. It does not attach to the pressure plate. I think one of his pictures also showed the disc firmly 'stuck' to it. Pull the engine or trans, remove the pressure plate and separate the disc. Yes, the second sentence here is probably the key The PP and disc were 'attached' ? ....never seperated ? and the trans slid right on............no clutch alignment tool ? or tool slid right in ? the disc is likely 'bonded' to the PP |

It definitely sounds like a clutch problem. If you do take it apart, check the part numbers on the disk and pressure plate. Some clown sold me mismatched parts and I had the same problem. 911T/914-4 2.0 pressure plate and 911S disk.

Borrow a large pipe bar clamp, clamp from fork to back of clutch cable wheel housing. screw clamp to pull fork back releasing pressure plate to disk.

QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Dec 4 2020, 09:56 PM) Before removing the trans remove the starter. Prop the pedal against the floor. Rotate the flywheel so that you can reach through spaces in the pressure plate to push or pull on the disc. Good luck. Rory Rory, you glorious SOB! @rgalla9146 I followed this. Pulled starter, pry bar to turn fly wheel, inserted bar into each of the 6 different spaces to evenly apply pressure against the clutch. On the 6th pry, the clutch broke free. All in all this took about 20 minutes. I realigned the shifter. Put it on the ground and it goes into every gear like it has been waiting to! You guys are the best! Thanks for all this advice!!! |

Glorious SOB is correct but credit goes to all who provided input. Between your last name, my first name and an Irish green car how could we miss ? Great result. |

I have had this issue a few times. Here is what I do. I start the car in first gear with the clutch pressed and then rev it a few times and it breaks free.
