The Jeep sat for about 3 weeks and when I went to start it next time, the clutch would not disengage. The clutch pedal activates the pressure plate correctly (I removed the inspection plate at the top of the bell housing and looked). But the clutch disk seems to be stuck to either the flywheel or pressure plate. I've tried starting it in gear, rocking it in gear, etc. Any thoughts to free it up without having to pull the engine or tranny? : Thanks! : Ray I have a british sportscar that this happens too every year after storing for the winter. I just start it in gear and then push in the clutch peddle and it releases, you don't mention if you actually got it started when you tried it. My clutch will not release just with the starter, the extra stress when it starts is what does it for me.
