    Drove car in May with no problems, started today and clutch will not release. Can I get it freed up just by driving it or will I have to re-adjust clutch? Car only has about 1000 miles on it. 54 Merc with t85 OD.

    I don't think adjusting it will help. You can jack up the rear axle, hold or block the clutch pedal down, start engine in gear, get the engine up above idle and jab the brakes. If it isn't frozen too badly it will break loose. On some really stuck ones I have blocked the clutch pedal down for a few days before trying to break it loose.
