AX-15 wont leave neutral with engine running

[Wingnut98]

Got the issue resolved! You guys were spot on, it seems like the clutch was seized to the flywheel. Even with new master and slave cylinder my issue persisted. I I let the jeep warm up for 20-30 minutes in neutral, turned it off, then did starts in 1st gear, got the jeep rolling good and started hard stalling it on purpose. After the 4th attempt it finally broke free and would idle instead of stalling (since I had clutch pedal down entire time). Clutch sounds super gritty now right at the biting point, but atleast my transmission works and I can shift through the gears completely normally now! Extremely excited, thank you for the help!

Thank you Guys! Same thing with my ‘98 TJ, I will try this technique to unstick the clutch disc from the flywheel! I’ve tried every thing else, short of taking it to a shop, so I’m hoping this will work.

It's possible the clutch disk is stuck to the flywheel and/or pressure plate as well...

Problem solved! It was the clutch disc stuck to the flywheel and/or pressure plate. Put the rear axle on Jack stands, clutch petal to floor, started it in 3rd gear, at 2,000 rpm’s applied brakes hard, boom fixed! idled perfectly and went into any gear while running. Test Drive- drove and shifted perfectly! Thanks again Guys! Saved me big $$$.
