1986 suzuki samurai clutch doesn't disengage

Engage two wheel drive. Switch on the ignition. Pull out the choke? Engage second gear and release the hand brake. Depress the clutch pedal and get the vehicle up to about 6-8 mph. Release the clutch and the engine should be turned by the rotation of the wheels - and hopefully start. Once the engine has caught, depress the clutch and keep the engine running in the normal manner.

get a block heater or if it already has one plug your vehicle in when not in use this will keep the block nice and warm and lessen the cold starting issues

ok make sure your radiator fan sucks the air and pull the engine this is very important. If the fan is electric checks goes to work automatically and if not activated thermal switch may have a problem. Thanks

yes

pulling the tansmission is the way to go

the throw bearing is no good.

It usually is the cylinder closest to the crankshaft pulley, if your standing front of the vehicle it should be the one closest to you

Adjusted Clutch cable assembly under passenger side of vehicle. Had assistance from friend depressing clutch pedal and engaging shift lever. Problem went away

I have found it easier to remove the engine to replace the clutch on my 1986 Samurai it you have the proper tools to pull the engine it took less time than pulling the transmission in my experence.
