Subject: [Healeys] Clutch plate

Date: Sat, 6 Nov 2021 19:35:31 -0400

Hi List 
      If a 65 1/2 BJ8Healey has been sitting for over 12 years , Allegedly in a garage and I’m thinking the clutch plate could be stuck to the flywheel, can’t push clutch pedal in , can it be freed up . 
         Thanks Don

Maybe the slave cylinder is locked up. Pull the pin at the slave and see if the clutch pedal will move.
