The intermittent clutch sticking problem has been diagnosed as "CRANKWALK". Google that! Its usually terminal, and as a replacement engine costs more than the car is worth, Its not viable really. I'm messing about with a 4G63 SOHC engine to see if it's possible to cobble together something, but its a slim chance really. Only had the car 3 months, no warranty, but at least it was cheap. as we say in England, Bugger.

Probably some water getting on it from somewhere Rather than a crankwalk. I heard of a guy drilling a hole above clutch (in bellhousing) & dripping spraying ATF fluid to free up the stuck clutch

Tore it apart last week, put the SOHC crankshaft in with new bearings ans seals and belts, Drove it 15miles today with no problems. Clutch works properly for the first time, engine sounds sweet, and I threw a decat pipe on during the rebuild. So far so good . . . . .
