e-mail signatureTerminology - is it that the biting point has moved?  If =
it's nearer the floor then there is still air in there.

If it's either in or out with very little travel where you can slip the =
clutch for manouvering then it could be a narrower bore.  If that's the =
case then I'd expect more movement than normal at the slave push-rod, =
which is measurable.  Can't say for the MGA but the MGB is 1/2" to 5/8". =
 I'd expect a longer throw of the push-rod to result in a higher biting =
point and a 'heavier' pedal than normal.

  I replaced my leaking clutch slave cylinder on my MGA 1600.  =
Everything went in fine, and I bled the system with an EZBleed.  The =
clutch slave works, but now the range in which the clutch engages is =
very quick and with a short "throw".  The pedal feels like it is meeting =
pressure as in the days before the replacement, but there is no "ride" =
on the clutch.  What can cause this and what is the solution?
