Have any of you ever encountered a "stuck" clutch plate?
Back in my ultra-poor days I drove my GT with the clutch becoming harder and
harder to disengage. I had thought that a worn clutch would show itself by
slipping, but in my experience it was the other way around. I drove it until
the release bearing shattered.
Then, to make matters worse, I stupidly did not replace the pressure plate
when I myself replaced the release bearing, release bearing arm and clutch
disc. I was so pissed I couldn't believe it. I had to drive it, without an
operating clutch, to have a pro do it right.
