clutch

Post by jbtuba »

My Morris was driving wonderful. I parked it in the garage, only to run the motor the next 2 months due to work schedule. I later tried to drive the car and now my clutch will not allow me to shift into gear when running. It shifts just fine with engine off, but not when motor is running. It seems like something is frozen ?.. anyone ever have this issue?

Start the engine and bring it right up to full working temperature - and then switch off and let it cool..Often that is enough to do the trick. Otherwise - as suggested - do a search.
