i have used Ns since 1953, have done many hundreds of them, and never had a  
stuck clutch
in a n  (for the record)  but one can say the ford clutch is more  air tight 
than most.
 
the borg &beck clutch is very common, good, and durable. Any foriegn  matter, 
even dirty
fingerprints, can stick a clutch. I have had new clutches stick  overnite,..
certain lubricants/chemicals can turn to sticky when heated.
the flywheel and pp plate should be rough sanded any time it is open.
sometimes a disc is so stuck it will tear up before it loosens. spray with  
alcohol may help.
do not use wd40 type stuff
