My car will be due for a new clutch kit in the near future.

The major problem is getting in first gear or reverse. I often have to engage 4th gear and then switch rapidly to first gear. Sometime it is hopeless that it is better to stop the engine and put it in gear before starting.

I feel the clutch disk is sticking to the flywheel or pressure plate. It may be soaked with thick greasy dirt which is causing all this. The clutch cable is adjusted to a minimum play at the pedal so it is not the problem.

I am thinking of injecting a spray of break cleaner through the release arm opening using a one foot long delivery tube. I want to spray as deep as I can. I can get the tube between the pressure plate strips near the bearing after removing the rubber square block.

Has anybody done something like that ?
