Are you positive it is a single clutch. If it is a dual and you take it to NH to fix it can get expensive in a hurry. If they replace the clutch and pressure plate assembly it is $2000 in parts. If they just replace both clutch disks the parts are arround $500. If it is a dual there are ways to unstick them. Do a search in this forum for stuck clutch and you will get plenty of ideas.

Is it possible that the clutch linkage is simply out of adjustment? Most clutches have an adjustable rod running from the pedal to the clutch arm on the bell housing. If the rod is to long it may not be completely disengaging the transmisson. There should be instructions available for proper clutch adjustment.

If you have a single clutch you adjust the clutch with the linkage.. If you have a dual clutch the pto clutch is adjusted internaly.
