I had the engine out of s14 lately when we were painting under the bonnet. The engine would have been sitting out of the car about two weeks on the floor of the shed. Anyway when the car was finished we put back in the engine but since that the clutch is always engaged.
A few people said the ceramic discs are stuck together from the dampness.
If so any ideas of how to free these without taking out the gearbox again???

Was the clutch removed from the engine at all????

No clutch wasnt removed at all was perfect before took engine out. Now it was sitting in my shed for a couple of weeks on the ground so prob is stuck together. I tried starting it in gear when had it on axle stands hoping it free itself no joy do. Guess ill just have take the box out.Quote:

when you say the clutch is always engaged, do you mean the turning force created by the engine is being sent to the gearbox all the time or do you mean its not sending drive to the gearbox? i cant imagine the plates getting stuck and if they did they wouldn't be long about freeing up. it sounds release bearing related or the fork Assembly associated with the release bearing. depending on what you mean by "the clutch is always engaged"
go on the gossssson :DQuote:
