If you mean the clutch pushrods, if that appeared to fix it then
something else was wrong that was fixed in the process.
All the slave pushrod does is position the slave piston in the slave
cylinder. The MGB system is self-adjusting which means that when you
release the clutch pedal the clutch cover springs push the release ring
back, which pushes the release bearing back, which pushes the release
arm back, which pushes the slave push-rod and piston back, which pushes
fluid back into the master reservoir. The length of the slave push-rod
doesn't directly affect that. If it's too long it can bottom the piston
in the cylinder and prevent the clutch from being fully engaged, which
can cause clutch slip. If it's too short fluid displacement from the
master can push the piston out of the end of the cylinder.
If the master push-rod is shorter than it should be then the pedal
footpad is lower than it should be, it doesn't travel as far as it
should before reaching the floor and you get a low biting point. That
can cause grinding when selecting reverse, which was covered way back,
and there has been no response to that or any of the suggestions. If
that push-rod is lengthened the pedal pad sits higher and can travel
further, which can push the pressure seal to the end of the cylinder and
damage it.

Try adjusting the pushrods, making them longer. I know it sounds
crazy, but i had a similar problem and that fixed it.  People on
this list even said don't do it, but i did it anyway.  Now it
works</blockquote>
