Yes, the stuck clutch happened a lot on the new TR-3 cars just off the
ship. They did have wood bumpers to protect the front of the cars during
shipping. We would just roll the car up to a brick wall or telephone
pole that was handy, put the foot on the clutch pedal and hit the starter.
Worked every time and saved pulling the gearbox.
