[DML] Re: Clutch not releasing

[Larry Cravalho <larry001@xxxx>]

The first thing I would do is securely jack up the D, have a partner depress the clutch to see
if you have any movement in the throw out arm. If you do, then, most likely the problem is
more serious. If you have no movement, then it would have to be in the hydraulic system. That
would be far less costly.
