Pray tell how a bolt in the bell housing bound the clutch plate?
It seems as with the amount of actuating lever travel, if one has the proper
hydraulics, the plate can be unbound by having one person in the car with the
clutch pedal on the floor - tranny in any gear - and a second fellow merely
rocking the car and she would pop loose. The amount of inertia generated by a
2000 lb car rocking back and forth is significant.
