John,
 New pressure plates are coated with a rust preventative grease. If that was
not thoroughly cleaned off it may be causing the problem??

Subject: [Healeys] Clutch Problem

I am in the middle of doing a ground up restoration on a 1959 BN7.  I put
about 20 miles on the chassis before taking it to the body shop, and the
clutch worked perfectly.  The chassis sat in a cool, damp corner of the body
shop for 2 months.  After the body was assembled, I went to pick the car up,
and the clutch would not completely release.  In order to drive the car, I
have to start it with the clutch pedal down and the transmission in gear.
When I hit the starter button, the car does not try to move, so the clutch
is
only dragging a little bit...just enough to make impossible to put in gear.

Any suggestions?
