Siezed Clutch Plate

have done a search but found nothing.

got a series 1, been sat for about 5 years in a shed, she runs fine, but i'm pretty sure the clutch plate is seized, the cylinder is fine ( i think) as the pedal will depress and pop back as normal, and she will move if started in gear.

so just wondering if there are any methods to un-sieze the clutch plate, i heard one in LRO to go about 5 mph in first and then select low ratio whilst on the go, anyone tried that??

cheers

one way I've had with success before is to put the bumper up against a tree or something solid, put it in gear, depress the clutch and have a go at winding it over on the starter with a fresh battery.

good search!

lol but i think its yours anyway!

I've got a 109 here that I bought for spares. Been stood for 6 years but started and runs ok. I've tried everything I could think of to free it off but it ain't having it at all. Next step would be stripping it if I needed it done but I don't so it can stay as it is.

try driving it with clutch pressed in and stamp on brakes a few times at a reasonable speed

Done all that. Even towed it in gear with a tractor for about a mile. Gave up as it's only a scrapper anyway but would have liked to thrash it round the fields a bit.

penetrating oil and then brake cleaner to degrease.

on a transit I could get to clutch plate with screw driver-if it's an off road shagger,maybe through starter hole.
