clutch disc sticks to flywheel
 

after car sits for 2 weeks. 428 w/Hays 2800 lb long style press. plate. Once it sticks you can not shift gears. you then have to pry disc away from flywheel manually. The old trick of starting car in 4th gear with clutch in does not work. I suspect some rust has started from moisture causing disc to anneal itself to flywheel. Note. there is no slippage with this drag setup because of high pressure. I hear you can shoot assy. with small hand held fire extinguisher ??? Help please. I don't want to tear this apart...again just to sand flywheel

------------------

Sorry, I have never heard of any other way then to sand the flywheel.

It won't pop out when you start it and jerk it some?? Did you try it with the hand brake on??

Never heard of the fire extingisher thing.

Good luck

already fixed...Using a measured pc of wood..jammed clutch pedal to floor...used thin kitchen knife to release disc stuck to pressure plate side (this time) guess I need to drive it at least once a week...thanks anyway

Glad to hear you got it unstuck easily. You might want to slip it alittle to knock any rust or junk off the the flywheel and disc.
