Thanks, everyone, for the advice on replacing the clutch. Not to sound like
a chicken, but the car was sitting for four years or so and the odometer
registers only 79,000 miles. I did have the car moving briefing on the road
and
it shifted smoothly on jack stands, although the clutch did squeal when
engaged.
Since the slave piston pushed through the cylinder, will a longer pushrod
help? Is it possible to grease the throwout bearing?
Thanks again,
Steve Hughes

List,
I am faced with my first clutch job on an 1972 MGB I bought a few months
ago. Although I got it to drive a short distance, the piston pushes through
the
slave cylinder.
Where should I go (website) or reference for guidance, tips, etc to replace
the clutch..
Thanks in advance.
