I presume MGB throwouts are like Midgets'.  They are quite fragile.
They are merely carbon rubbing devices without any roller bearing to
them.  Never sit around with your foot on the clutch pedal and the
engine running.  Put it in neutral at long stop lights.  I find that
shifting to 2nd, then 1st, works fine to line up the non-syncro first
so there is no real penalty for sitting in neutral a lot and saving
the throwout.
