sounds like your clutch is completly done. and i mean there is no clutch material left. I'm sure thats what you'll find if you drop the tranny.

Sweet. It was even more fun for me because my engine was sitting on the floor of my garage with the flywheel still on. I actually used a metal bar...but it didn't seem to harm the teeth. I guess I haven't checked back in a long time but I'm glad to see you got it out!

that clutch doesnt look to be bad enough to not engage like you were saying, unless the pressure plate or flywheel was really really bad. my guess is that your hydrolic clutch system was leaking and because it sat for so long it got air in it like my buddies.
