triumphjon Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 had a similar problem when i bought an old herald many years ago , however i started the engine and let it warm through , turn it off , then restart the car in gear , after a mile or so i forgot about the clutch & changed gear with no problem !

partsaver Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It shouldn't be a LSD on a 1500, if you have aenough room in front of the car then handbrake off, select SECOND gear turn key, hold on tight whilst it tries to take off along the road the clutch will either then do nothing or go bang loudly, the bang will be the plate releasing or the pressure plate and firiction plate going on its own journey to somewhere dark.Out of the 20 or so times I have used this method only once have i broken a clutch.
