[Healeys] Clutch plate

[gradea1 at charter.net]

Twelve years could have built up some "goo" in the clutch master
cylinder and prevent it from moving the piston. As Perry says, could
also be the same issue in the slave. However, the clutch is hydraulic
and the pedal does not move any mechanics (other than the piston rod)
so it can't be mechanically hung up. The clutch disc is another issue
which may show up later, and I would wonder if the brakes are
functioning? Moisture really plays havoc with hydraulics especially if
the car is not in a conditioned space.
This is a good time to change all the fluid, replace hoses, rebuild or
replace cylinders-fun stuff. Hank

 Maybe the slave cylinder is locked up. Pull the pin at the slave and
see if the clutch pedal will move.

Allegedly in a garage and I’m thinking the clutch plate could be
stuck to the flywheel, can’t push clutch pedal in , can it be freed
up .
