My J2 went on its inaugural journey to the MOT station on
Saturday, some 12 miles or so. It passed the MOT with
flying colours, I was amazed but may get used to cable
brakes in due course. I reached the gate of the MOT
station when the clutch died. It is jammed such that it
won't release. I took the clutch stop bolt off and tried
abusing it by pushing the pedal as far as I could and
stamping on it a few times. No joy. Looking through the
inspection cover I can see the cover plate pressed forwards
onto the driven plate and the clutch fingers are not
pressed against it. I expect that I will have to strip it
down but I wonder if this is a common fault and there might
be a simple remedy. Any advice would be gratefully
received.
