If the clutch doesn't disengage but the linkage works OK,

I recommend the "lurch" method of disengagement.

It is easy enough (if a bit traumatic) and it sure beats

pulling the engine or tranny, which are the alternatives.

Here's how it goes:

Warm the engine up in neutral. Then shut it down. It's best

if you are in a fairly clear area and don't have to back up.

(you can back up if you aren't afraid to.) Put the car in first gear,

hold the clutch pedal down and start the engine, which will put the

car in motion. Holding the clutch down, alternately tromp the

gas and the brake. Usually it will let go on about the third or

fourth lurch and you'll roll to a stop. Normal operation will make

a slight sound as the clutch engages for a short while until the

rust and disk residue wear off the flywheel and pressure plate.

This operation has saved me LOTS of time and trouble on several

occasions on cars that have been in storage and the only ill effects

are embarrassment in case someone is watching. (Usually they roll on

the ground in laughter.)
