Hello
I've been reading this board for the last few years and ,,,generic lurker
disclaimer...
By my choice , my 1971 (restoration project) MGB-GT has become a daily
drive for the last three weeks. Friday As I was pulling into my
driveway, it became a bear to shift into first gear. And, any attempts to
shift into reverse were met with a horrible grinding noise. This AM I
checked to see if all fluids were OK and they were. The Transmission
fluid was replaced less than 2 months ago with 20-50w Castrol.(same as in
the engine). If I try to shift it into first the car slowly attempts to
move forward, any other gear and I get that great head turning grinding
noise.
I think I am looking at a clutch master cylinder problem but I would like
to get the boards opinion. If it is the master cylinder should I get the
rebuilds kit or splurge for new parts?
Any less expensive suggestions would also be helpful.
Many thanks,
Jim Porco
