Just a thought, don't leave the car in gear while stored, I live in So Flor=
ida and I've never had the problem with my 73TR6. The car can sit for a mo=
nth or two with no difficulties.

I don't know where you guys live, but it happened to a friend who lived on
the Keys.
Anyone think this might be related to salt water?

Greg,
Happens to my 72 6 every spring when I get the cars out of the garage.
I just put it in 4th gear and rock the car back and forth while depressing
the clutch. After a while I hear the clutch give and I am good to go for th=
e
season.
This does not happen on my 3 or 4, just the 6. I am thinking it is because =
I
had the flywheel turned when I rebuilt the engine.
