Who didn't see that coming?

torquillWe didn't get out of the driveway. The clutch won't disengage -- either the clutch plate is stuck to the flywheel, or the sharp sensation my dad had when pressing down the pedal was the bearing snapping.
We have the car jacked up so that I can pull the transmission, but the current plan is to let it back down, put it in gear with the engine off and clutch in, and drag it down the driveway with the truck. That should put enough force on a frozen clutch plate to break it loose... if it's a broken bearing, it won't hurt anything.
If that doesn't work, we'll jack it back up again (the lip of the hood is at my chin level) and I'll drop the transmission. My dad says it's about two hours to remove, and another two hours to put back in, so it's not too bad.
