Clutch sticks on my IH364

[tallyho8]

Recently the clutch has started sticking on my old 364. I tried adjusting some of the play out of it but that did not help. If I push down on the clutch and rev up the motor for a few seconds then it will release. This also works while driving if I am able to get to full rpms before I have to release the clutch. This is a very dangerous situation. If I put it in gear and don't let the clutch up quite all the way then it will not stick and will release but this is very tiring and riding the clutch can't be good for it.

Is there anything I can do for this besides replacing the clutch?

One of the main causes of this that we've seen is rust on the transmission shaft that the clutch is supposed to slide on.

To catch it soon enough might mean not having to buy a clutch and pressure plate! Depends on you!
