Everyone who has ever bled a clutch on MGA or MGB has a sad tale of=
difficulty to relate. Those who have owned TDs with rods&lever or the cable=
remember how easy that job of adjustment was.
Everyone has a method that eventually worked. Mine is to fill as I=
assume they did at the factory=E2=80=94figure out the quantity of fluid in t=
he entire system, then push that amount in at the clutch with a syringe unti=
l MC fills. The thought is that pushing up from the bottom will take any bu=
bbles along with the fluid to the top. =20
Worked for me. Hope it works for you.
