<VV> 63 Spyder - Stuck Clutch

[Harry Yarnell]

Easy. Sort of. Put it in 4th gear (engine off), press down on the clutch,
start the car, and slam on the brake. This usually does it. May need a few
applications. Obviously you want nothing in front of you when you do this.
Reverse will work, depending on which way the car's pointing.
