Alfetta stuck clutch

My Alfetta had been sitting for over ten years when I got it and had the same problem. I replaced the clutch master and slave but still stuck. Finally I put the rear up on jack stands and ran it through the gears until it came unstuck. Good luck

More mechanical restoration

Mark the bolt worked, thanks! And here's a picture of her fresh from the test drive with your old spoilers installed. I completed the driveshaft rebuild and rear engine mount replacement this weekend, and man what a difference new donuts make! So smooth I can't believe it. Drives like a new car! Important reinstallation tip: the center support bearing mount tangs are different lengths to accomodate the shifter housing. Pay close attention when reassembling! The bearing support will slide back on in either direction, if you reassemble incorrectly you will discover after you've reinstalled it that you can't reinstall the shifter housing! You'll have to remove the driveshaft, again, disassemble the two shafts, again, pull the spider yoke, again, reverse the center mount, and reassemble- reinstall, again! Well, at least that's what someone I know told me I also replaced the brake cable as it's readily accessible with the driveshaft out (picture). I've also been busy in the engine bay. Took a wire wheel and a drill and polished the cam covers, see the before and after shots. Those yellow plastic pieces riveted to the filthy covers were driving me crazy. Also pressed in new anti-sway bar bushings up front. That's all for now.
