1985 RX7, 1st gen. GS - Clutch frozen
I had my car towed and now the clutch will not depress, hard as a rock. Clutch was fine before that. The tow truck was not a flatbed but it had an attachment that the front wheels rested on with the rear of the car up in the air. I don't think the wheels made contact with the ground while being transported but we did push it forward after it was taken off the tow truck. What could have happened? I had a new clutch slave and master less than 300 miles ago. What can I try? Need to sell it but people want to drive it before buying it.

Clutch works!
Well, now I feel stupid, my husband went out and pushed the clutch in. It was stiff but he was able to push it in, we drove the car and it shifts fine!! So relieved! But thank you for all your suggestions! Now there is another problem though. The buzzer that usually sounds when you turn the key to accessory remains on while the engine is running. We couldn't get it to turn off. Is that a warning buzzer that something in the engine isn't okay. Popped the top on the radiator and the water was circulating while engine running because the water level dropped. But the temperature gauge remained at cold even after engine running for 10 minutes. Does the car have a warning buzzer when engine overheats?? Any other cause or reason for alarm/buzzer sound???
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
