[Healeys] Clutch-related noise

[Michael Salter]

Very weird....
As I'm sure you have realized, there is hardly anything on a Healey that is
not related to engine speed or road speed.
I have encountered a car in which the voltage regulator was making a
buzzing noise but that was fairly obvious as soon as you opened the bonnet.
Overheating radiators sometimes make strange noises and so do fuel pumps
but none of those have any relationship to the clutch!!!
Think it is time to get out the stethoscope.
