I had the same problem with my 1967 911S. The clutch is frozen
(corroded) to the flywheel.

To free it, take it out to the street, put it in 5th gear and have a
friend (or a couple of them) hand-push you to start the engine. The
compression shocks should be strong enough to break the corrosion bond
at the clutch. It worked for me!

This sounds a bit "primitive". I don't doubt it worked but it sounds a
little dangerous. Is there anything that could break ?

Only the clutch/flywheel chemical bonding, which is the weakest link in
the drivetrain at that point.

 

you can always call your favorite German auto shop and they will come with a
flatbed and the next time you see it, it'll will be all better. no sarcasm
just input
