Hi MoparMike,
Sounds as if the clutch is not dropping --probably due to the safety plunger being "frozen", and lack of oil on the clutch member (plus the whole mechanism) itself.
I would strongly suggest that my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide" would be of help here--contact me at: ronnnrich@yao.com, if you wish to purchase a copy.
Also you will need to have an "Installation and operation Manual", and a Service Manual to go along with it--
Check the "where to find--" announcement above for a list of suppliers--or, right now I think that MFFE has original copies of those manuals for sale-you might check with Bill Butterfield on that (he is listed above). Ron Rich
