Stuck Clutch - 35 f:1.4

[Big Swifty]

The manual focus clutch is stuck in the back/manual focus position. I can't get it to move forward back into the fixed/auto focus position.

 

When the S/C/M focus selector on the front of my X-T1 is in the S mode it still auto-focuses the lens but I'd like to be able to have the clutch function as it should.

 

Anyone know of any reason why it's stuck or any solution. I live in a country where the only authorized Fuji repair location is 16 hours away and I'm not sure I'm comfortable using the postal service or a courier to send the lens - though it may be my only option.

 

Hoping to find a do-it-myself solution.

Never mind. Just realized it's my 14 and 23 with clutches. Most learn not to make assumptions before morning coffee kicks in.

I hope you didn't push too hard...

Here is simplest and safe trick:

Put the lens into zip-lock bag.
Put all it into the freezer.
When it became cold, gently try to move clutch.

Chances are low, but worth to try.
