[Healeys] clutch

[john spaur]

Gary,
Does it disengage and reengage like there a sweet spot in the middle 
of the clutch peddle movement where the clutch is fully disengaged? 
With the transmission cover removed and the car running operate the 
clutch and look at the movement of the slave cylinder push rod. Try 
shifting at different times to see if it disengages and reengages. If 
so you may need to shorten the push rod.
