Simon,  Glad to hear that you (think) you have it solved.  Here is hoping to
many miles of functioning clutch!  I look forward to good explanation of the
M/C and how a too-long rod can cause the issues you had.

 

Cheers, Mirek

Subject: [Healeys] Clutch Master Cylinder/Clutch Slip Saga

 

With reference to the slipping clutch &/or overdrive, I do believe that it
is fixed. Said that before and it let me down again. But, this time, I had
it done professionally by a local team that I'd never used before. 

Anyhow, after my wasting a lot of time and some money checking everything
and getting nowhere, these guys said that the rod in the clutch master
cylinder was too long and they'd had to reduce it's length. (Non-standard
rod. Long story). So, apparently the pressure wasn't being allowed to bleed
back/out and the slave cylinder remained pressurized etcetc.

Now, if that sounds like a muddle, it is and that's because I've never
delved into or fully understood the workings of the clutch master cylinder.
(Which is why I never thought of it during the whole affair. But nor did
anyone else). I know it's not just a simple pusher, like a bicycle pump, but
that's really all. I googled it and looked into my years' worth of collected
files of advice and wisdom. But nothing found.

Can someone just explain how the thing works so I can understand what was
going on? I should like to close the whole chapter and move on.....

Thanks,

Simon
