Default rusted clutch
Hey guys figured I'd just share some of my recent experiences. Clutch would not disengage. So I bled the hydraulics first. NOPE! Replaced the master. NOPE! ****... have to jerk the trans. Bought a new slave. But before I put the trans back in i pulled the clutch off. McLeod street twin. F'ing rear disc was rusted to the floater plate and pressure plate! YEP! Car had been setting for 2 YEARS! So word to the wise, at least start your car up every now and then guys

That sucks.. But at least you pulled the clutch before putting the trans back in, to find out that the slave didn't fix it either.. that would have been a bad day...
