97 gst - motor dies when pushing in the clutch.

[dsmreck]

could be crank walk, especially since sitting without proper oiling and then trying to start it with the clutch pressed prob didn't help. could also be a dragging clutch. i would consider looking into that before i dropped the pan. I have a fresh built 7 bolt short block if he needs one and doesn't want to go 6bolt. I feel like disconnecting the clutch switch, proper oiling, and a proper set up clutch is a way to combat the whole crank walk thing. just my opinion though
