[TR] clutch issue

[Frank Magnusson]

Not sure what they mean by the clutch doesn't work.  Is the pedal dead (master or slave obviously needs rebuilt), or is the pedal nice and firm but no response from the clutch?   If the later, I've had this happen a few times on a GT6.  What I've done is to start it in 2nd gear with open driveway / road in front of you (!) as Geo said.  Then pump the clutch pedal while also pumping the gas pedal.  That shock loading has broken it loose several times.  Once I had to go up a steep hill doing the same thing and let it slowly decelerate until it literally started bucking and it broke loose.  You can do the same thing by slowly coming to a stop with the pedal depressed and let the engine die; it will usualy start bucking and that shock usually does the trick.
