In Reply to: Stuck clutch question posted by Bernie/MA on September 15, 2009 at 17:52:21:
Bernie, my thoughts for what they are worth. When I think about it, a lower gear will often slide the wheels when pulling a vehicle. This is because there is not enough leverage to spin the engine over. So will there be enough leverage to break the clutch lose? When you put it in a higher gear and it spins the engine. Now if the engine is spinning how is that going to unstick the clutch? To be honest with you I have never unstuck a clutch by pulling a vehicle. Because I have not felt the effort to be worth it. The only way I have unstucken a clutch is to replace it. Alas! I have started to stray from your question. Back to the question at hand. As I think about it there are two different possibilities you can try. The most surefire way would be to fill the cylinder cavities full of water. This would ensure the engine would not spin and the pressure against the clutch might have a chance to unstick the clutch. It also has a good chance of ruining your engine, if not done properly. If using this method I would start in a lower gear and work my way up until I found the point of just enough to unstick it. In fact I would suggest you do that with either method. The other method would be to secure the fan blade securely with baling twine (I would not use wire as it might nick the fan blade and cause an out of balance problem and pull vehicle. This method is easier and would have less change of harming engine components should something go not just quite right. You have probably noticed I am not a regular poster and do not have several thousand post. But you can rest assured that I can Bull Hock with the best and do know of which I speak. Before closing let me apologize for not highly recommending you get the proper manual for your vehicle. The reason I did not do so, I have yet to see a manual cover the process of unsticking a clutch by pulling vehicle. Please when You have unstucken your clutch let us know how it went. Thank you for posting your question and I hope this discussion has been very helpful to you.
