1935 Buick Special 46c Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Gentlemen and ladies, I have a beautiful 1935 Buick Special 46C. After storing it for 3 months I restarted the car. I started on the first crank. But when I went to shift the car it would not go into any gear. It just ground loudly. It appears the clutch has slipped. How do I adjust the clutch to allow it to disengage the transmission? Thanks in advance for the help. John P. #50690 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) The clutch may only be stuck and not in need of adjustment. It is good practice to keep the clutch pedal depressed when in storage. I suggest you put it in gear with the clutch pedal depressed and rock the car to see if it will break loose. You may need some friends to help.... Edited September 18, 2021 by Mark Shaw (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
