Press the clutch pedal to the floor. Turn the key and hold it on START and drive it around for a couple of seconds with the starter. If that fails to break it loose: Jack up the rear wheels and release the parking brake. Put it in 3rd gear and start the engine. Push the clutch pedal to the floor and SLAM the brake pedal down fast and hard. Repeat until the clutch breaks free. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
