There is always the possibility that if Joe rebuilt his clutch slave
cylinder he also put in a new pushrod. I and others have had the
experience of ordering a new pushrod from the Moss catalog, for instance,
and receiving one that was too short to operate the clutch fork.
Comparing the new one to the old one revealed that the old one seemed to
have an extension welded on. This not only happened to me but at least two
others that I know of. No one has been able to explain this to my
satisfaction yet, but when I put in the "correct" rod, the clutch won't
work. If I use the old one, it works fine. This was true both before and
after I installed a new clutch and rebuilt tranny from Victoria British.
