[Healeys] Clutch Symptom

[Michael Salter]

The important thing here is the change from cold to hot!!
If there is air in the system it will expand when hot and expel fluid back to
the tank. The result will be the symptoms described.
Also sometimes a dry pilot bush will pick up when hot however, this usually
only occurs with a new installation.
Try bleeding the system and check that the bleed screw is on the top side of
the slave cylinder.

Subject: [Healeys] Clutch Symptom

G'day



I have an odd symptom with a BJ8 clutch.



It appears to work perfectly when the air/car is cooler such as early
morning, but when it's warmer as it was this afternoon (an Australian
summer) it's sometimes difficult to engage or is notchy. At one stage this
afternoon it refused to engage at all and I could not select any gear. I
waited a minute or two and then it worked perfectly.



I suspect that it's a hydraulic and probably the slave cylinder, but there
does not appear to be any loss of fluid in the reservoir.



Any suggestions?
