[Healeys] TRANSMISSION Clutch issues

[Magnus Karlsson]

Sometimes it happens that the diaphragm of the pressure plate touches the
clutch disc when the pedal is fully engaged. This is probably due to wrong
tolerances on repro parts. However the easiest fix for this is simply to
shorten the push rod in the slave cylinder.
