[Healeys] Clutch push rod. Slipping clutch/overdrive

Sun Jun 30 16:19:43 MDT 2024

The world is full of self described “experts”, many of whom have no more insight into any particular question than the average participant  on this forum. Half the value is in the speculation about the problem and the eventual solution. And the other half is in the educational value for the confused questioner.
Are you saying that no one should ask questions, or that only “experts” should answer? In that case nobody learns anything and in many cases the questioner remains confused and frustrated many times ending in an advertisement stating “Ran when parked”. That does nothing to benefit owners or the hobby.

The point for an answerer is, you usually do not know about the skills of the questioner. So what can you expect, a semi-expert who knows what he/she is talking about or one who even doesn´t know of what he/she is talking about. Some questions even tell me any answer wouldn`t help the questioner, as he/she even doesn´t understand what`s ment with the answer.

I, for one, don't necessary expect a 'correct diagnosis'--or any diagnosis, for that matter--when I pose a question to the List (or a forum). By the time I post an inquiry, I'm usually out of ideas and I'm just looking for a few more. Even absurd ones (first I've heard of this particular issue, though I'm well aware of the function and frailty of the foot valve mechanism). But that's just me.

And don`t expect a correct diagnosis from people who are no experts and not in direct touch with the car.

Goes back to the old adage ...
Correct diagnosis is 50% of the repair!!

Toyota 5 speeds & 964's have master cylinders, too.

Thanks to everyone who replied to that question. The mist has cleared somewhat. Plainly the needs of the master cylinders is something that I’ve cruelly overlooked down the years. Seemingly I explored and took you down every avenue, looked at every suspect etcetc…..all in vain. If it’s any comfort – to you, I mean – I had the gearbox out, the clutch off, the overdrive’s clutches rebuilt etcetc and all for nowt!

Car’s performing well now. Fingers crossed. If it does it again…..Toyota 5 speed or swap the brute for a 964 Sport!
