[Healeys] Clutch Low Engagement

[David Nock]

We make a remote clutch bleeder part number BCS353 in out Hard to Find parts cataloge.

However your problem is most likely not that the system needs bleeding, if the pedal feels normal and not spongy then there is not air in the system. I would recommend looking at the slop in the clutch pedal. The pedal should have almost zero free play in before the pushrod starts to move.We find many times that either the clutch pedal, clevis pin or push rods are worn. Causing excessive free play in the pedal resulting in the clutch not releasing.

Unfortunately, this is a pain, and often gets, uh, 'overlooked' because the bleed screw on the slave cylinder is nigh impossible to reach without removing the transmission tunnel (or dropping the slave cylinder).  Some of us have installed bleeder extensions; this one is from the late Doug Reid--'Mr Finespanner'--which is unfortunately NLA (you might get lucky on eBay). I bled my clutch once in a Texas Roadhouse parking lot waiting for it to open.
