[Chrysler300] Re: 1964 300K 4 speed clutch question

["Vath, Michael J." <MJVATH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clutch unstick:
Put rear axle on jack stands (lots of them)
Block front wheels too!
Release the parking brake
Start car IN GEAR (1st)
Push-in clutch pedal
With 1/2 of your other foot on the brake -- the other 1/2 on gas, apply
brake & gas. If you get the balance right, the clutch should break free. If
it stalls, try again!
Once its loose, keep the clutch applied for a minute or two while running &
in-gear. This should clear the surfaces a bit.
