The throwout lever should be pushed up of course; I can't imagine you should
be able do do it with bare hands, it's extremely stiff. The lever pushes
a rod that runs inside the length of the mainshaft toward the engine which
pushes the center of the pressure plate releasing the cluch. You may have
a broken pressure plate; I've never seen one. Is this common, anyone?
