Just got my mini off the boat, engine started OK but the clutch pedal is solid, no movement at all. I tried wacking the arm a bit but nothing is shifting, anyone got any ideas on how to loosen this? I Think the hydraulics are OK and Its a Verto. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

Is the clutch engaged or dis-engaged? I'd guess you pressed the pedal once then it went hard?

You might find that it is the release plunger seized in the clutch housing cover. I have come across this a couple of times before. This, and the pivot on the release arm are about the only places that run close enough fits to seize up. What has possibly happened as well is that by pressing the pedal, you have managed to shift it outwards, but it will not return. Further pressing of the pedal causes the slave cylinder piston to reach the circlip at the end of its bore, hence the pedal goes solid as a brick!

OK thanks guys, it did indeed go down a bit the first time, but not all the way. I am not sure if its engaged or not as theres still a wheel off to get the tyre repaired I guess I could jack it up and find out. I have soaked it in WD40 and will take off the slave tonight, check that and then apply a bit of brute force. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk
