Jump start it with 2nd or 3rd on, then drive and accelerate. When you have
enough speed, push clutch down and take foot out from gas pedal. When motor
braking, clutch disengages with few attemps. There is a thin rust coating on
flywheel, and it wears out more than rapidly.
I did this about 10 years ago to my Alpine, but heard afterwards that new
cars that are shipped often has this syndroma (at least had 30 years ago).
At harbour it happened that you had to do this for every car which was
imported, specially at autumn/winter time.
And you can be quite harsh, that rust is the weakest link in your power
train.
