stuck clutch/ Ford 9000

Dose any one have any sugestions on what you have done for this situation? Also what is your opinion of the 9000, what are its problem areas?

I knew an old timer that would fill the bell housing with diesel whenever he ran across your problem. I never heard him say that he couldn"t find a way to get the oil in though--maybe he had to drill a hole in the top of the bell housing or something. But I remember he said it always loosened the clutch spline from the shaft. He would let it soak for a couple of days with a pan underneath to catch any spillage and work the clutch pedal in and out whenever he had the time.

The fellow that told me this was a tractor and heavy equipment mechanic for over 40 years. I don't remember him saying that he used degreaser after the fact but would assume that wouldn't hurt. Maybe do a wash-out with mineral spirits to clean off the diesel. But the way I see it, using the pressure plate & clutch will eventually dry it out, but I know regular motor oil will end up glazing on a clutch disc. I'd say give the diesel a try before you have to split her in two...
