[Fot] tr3 clutch stuck

Amici...
 
Fine details elude me right now, but seem's like Kas share a procedure for this with me a long time ago and this happened to my TR3 in the paddock.  It was something he had used from time to time when he was still handling the new stock arriving in California from England.  I think it involved staging the car against a brick/block or other sturdy wall, and then trying to work the drive train free, using the wall to prevent catastrophe.  I never tried it, and quite frankly it struck me as a bit scary...but let's face it...if it was something Kas used...I am sure it worked.
 
I probably have the details bassackward, but maybe Kas will chime in.

Stuck happens.  Can try starting it in gear with clutch pedal depressed (somewhere where you have lots of room).  With some help you can try rocking it back and forth with the pedal depressed.  Joe(B)
