<x-charset iso-8859-1>Opel were famous for this in the 70's, they used to pay the techs to R&R the clutch on the new cars shipped over, just to unstick them. However, all they did was to take it out in the lot and stomp on the gas in first gear, worked for mine too when it used to sit over the summer. it is amazing how much HP you can transmit through a clutch stuck by merely rust!
