Laid up for a while, usually ok, started first time wouldn't engage gears... only trying to get into Reverse results in crunching... Pedal feels ok clutch fluid ok.

I assumed the clutch plate was stuck on..

I ran her until she was hot and then tried turning over in gear to release the clutch plate, oddly 1st and second jolted but 3rd just started and ran in gear with low box without drive.

Thoughts ?
 
Other way to do it is put rear axle on axle stands ensuring wheels are clear of the ground. Start it in 2wd in 2nd or 3rd gear, keep foot on clutch pedal and when the speedo reads 25-35mph stamp on the brake pedal hard, usually frees them off. Might take a few goes......

Will try this one...My main lack of understanding the issue was why I could engage third and start the engine.
