Is there a switch on the clutch that could prevent a car from starting?

yes, it is a neutral safety switch. When this switch has an open circut, it will not let the car start. The switch should be located under the dash on the top to the cluch pedal.

I had a new clutch put in but it keeps getting damaged can you tell me is the is it the flywheel or gearbox also is the flywheel meant to move yes or no?

when you have a clutch put in you also have to replace or remove the flywheel and have it refaced to keep from messing up the new clutch, and yes the flywheel is suspose to turn when the engine is turning, so if the flywheel wasnt replaced or refaced then i would say that the flywheel is what the problem is

What causes clunking sounds after shifting into first gear and truck begins to move?

could be u-joints or a sloppy ring and pinion gear mating. The slack has got to be taken up somewhere. Without knowing the mils i would get under truck and wiggle up and down and side ways and twist by hand all the u-joints and look for wear even rust, that would be the cheapest fix

Is Essex Gun Works still in business?

There was never a company with that name. It was a trade name on guns made by Crescent, Harrington & Richardson, and Stevens for distribution by Belknap Hardware Co. in St Louis. Absolutely correct. Do not confuse 'Essex Gun Works' with the current manufacturer 'Essex Arms' which is a maker of .45 pistol components and is also bringing back the Iver Johnson tradename.

How can the flywheel be turnedon a frozen engine to turn the engine?

If the engine is froze up, the flywheel can't be turned. You can use a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt, work it back and forth in both directions and it might break loose, but I wouldn't count on it. Usually you have to take the caps off of the connecting rods in order to turn the crank.

How long to replace clutch on mgb gt?

The short answer is about a full day. Clutch replacement of an MGB, Roadster or GT entails the removal of the engine/transmission assembly from the car, then separating the two to access the clutch.

There is no practical way to get to the clutch any other way, as the transmission cannot be removed with the engine in place.

Your car starts but won't shift gears when running Also when ist not started you have all gears but when you push the clutch in to start it it learches forward What could be wrong?

Most likely the clutch master cylinder and/or slave cylinder has went out. It's a good rule of thumb to replace both at the same time to save frustration later on. A hydraulic clutch system works on the same principle as your brake system. Its very important that after replacing the slave and master cylinder that you properly bleed all air from the hydraulic lines to ensure proper clutch pressure.

How do you repair your 1991 Jeep Cherokee if the clutch pedal breaks and the part has been discontinued and no salvage yards have any?

Find another 91' jeep Cherokee and ask if they will part it out or swap vehicles, yes I'm joking about the vehicle swap. But if you keep an eye out for other 91's in the paper, or sitting next to people's houses/garages you might find one.

try to find on from a newer model and modify it to your vehicle. Try eBay or Google search salvage yards

Check out junkyarddog.com - it's an online search of salvage yards nationwide. You can find the part you need, contact that salvage yard, and have the part shipped to you.

How do you replace the Air Conditioning compressor clutch on a 1996 Saturn SL series?

UPDATED, see below...

There are a/c clutch removal tools available at most auto parts stores. The process as experienced by someone repairing a Hummer is shown on this page:

You should be able to find the right tool by going to a local auto parts store. If not, at least this gives you something to look for online.

UPDATE: Since writing this I've found you don't need a special tool, if your compressor is the same as on a 2002 Saturn SL which I've taken apart this weekend. This model uses a Zexel compressor (which I've written about in comments on another question), and the thing comes apart without arcane tools.

Remove the central screw from the front, pry off the clutch plate with a flat screwdriver (yes, according to GM), and then use a 3-jaw puller like you can get at an auto parts store, and a suitable deep-well socket to remove the pulley if necessary.

IMPORTANT: Use the deep-well socket to avoid placing ANY pressure on the compressor's shaft when you're using the puller; otherwise you'll damage your compressor and the shaft seal will be breached (i.e. refrigerant venting all over you). Check the clutch coil for continuity at the connector pins with a voltmeter set to measure resistance -- it should be pretty low. If it's very high or doesn't change when you touch the meter probes to the pins, then the coil wire is damaged somewhere. Also you can try putting 12V to the coil manually, and checking for a strong magnetic pull. If the coil is bad, remove three screws from the inside of the coil at the front, and it falls right off. The three screws are a bit hard to break free, so be sure to press into them hard with the screwdriver to keep from stripping them as you turn. (Why did they use Phillips screws for this?)
