It seems to me that if you did a "bucking bronco" impression of a first time
manual driver, that that could go a long way towards freeing the clutch.
Another though is to get it up to speed and turn the engine off, which would
load it somewhat. All of this with the clutch pushed in.

Subject: [evolution-disc.] Sticky clutch/presure plate fix?
Here's my dilemna...my SM Civic has been sitting for a couple of months. Now
the clutch has decided to "weld" itself to the pressure plate just from
sitting and from all the condensation and such. I've tried starting it in
gear about 20 times and it hasn't seemed to help yet. I just hate the stress
on the driveline to start it in gear so many times. Any ideas on how to get
the two loose? I've thought about pulling the starter off and spraying some
WD40 in there..any thoughts on that? Whatever advice would be great.
Thanks,
Mike
