If the car hasn't been used for a long time it may be
that the disk is rusted to the flywheel. That has
happened more then once on some cars I have had.
If you can start it in gear you should be able to break
it loose by sudden acceleration deceleration while
holding the clutch down.

When the clutches are really good, pressing the pedal does feel like
nothing is connected. If the pedal comes back up when you push it down,
that’s a really good sign.

Got this 81 240D moved into the shop and jacked up. I examined the
underside and discovered it’s going to need all the typical 123 front end
work. Will need ball joints, tie rods, and control arm bushings for sure.
Have not looked at the upper control arms yet. Basically I probably need to
just redo the entire front end. Also needs at least a front flex disk and
center support. Moved on to the clutch. I hooked my pressure bleeder up to
the brake reservoir then opened the bleeder on the slave cylinder and got a
good steady stream of fluid out, no bubbles. Let it run for a while. Does
this mean my issue is not air on the system? When pressing the clutch it
pushed down and comes right back up but does not feel like it is actually
doing doing anything. I pulled the under dash cover and nothing is
disconnected there. How do I go about figuring out what the actual issue is
as far as if it’s a master cylinder issue, slave cylinder or something else?
I want to get the clutch fixed first so I can at least move the car
around. After I do that the next priority is getting the lift going because
I do not want to do all this front end and driveshaft working laying on my
back under the car. Screw that.
