Subject: Re: [Healeys] clutch hydraulics question
Hi
First time on this forum and haven't got the foggiest idea what I'm =
doing.
I've taken out my Healey for the first time in two years. My problem is =
the clutch is not functioning properly. I can let it out fully and, with =
pause, the car will move forward or backward. seems the gas pedal is =
taking over the clutch's function. Can I drive it to a garage or should =
I have it towed ?
