[Healeys] Clutch transmission issue

[Michael Oritt]

Since this is a diaphragm clutch if the problem were the same in all gears
I would suggest that perhaps you are overstroking the clutch and pushing
the fingers in when depressing the pedal beyond a certain point.  However I
cannot reconcile that theory with your statement that in no case can you
engage reverse, 3rd or 4th.
