[Healeys] Clutch question

[David Nock]

I also would recomend while the transmission is out. To clean up the  
transmission and replace the front seal, rear seal and the O rings on  
the overdrive cross shaft, install rear crankshaft seal kit, rear  
transmission mounts.

Other options that i would recomend would be to rebuild the clutch  
slave cylinder and install a new flex hose, and for a performance  
upgrade option you can consider a light flywheel.
