<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: large">I've taken out my Healey for
the first time in two years. My problem is the clutch is not functioning
properly. I can let it out fully and, with pause, the car will move forward or
backward. seems the gas pedal is taking over the clutch's function. Can I drive
it to a garage or should I have it towed ?</DIV>

<DIV>There is no suction from the hydraulic system. The pressure plate springs
push the rod back in AS the clutch peddle is returned. Actually if you push in
the peddle with the rod disconnected then release the peddle additional fluid
will be drawn in from the reservoir and another push on the peddle and the rod
will pop all the way out.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Actually there is a small spring inside the slave cylinder positioned to
lightly push the rod outward for which there is no apparent reason. I
discovered this when I tagged out the carbon throw out bearing in berry little
miles. Apparently my clutch linkage had very little resistance and this spring
was maintaining contact of the bearing. Since there was no reason for the
spring, I took it out. Everything has worked fine for more than 25K
miles</DIV>

<DIV>I think the throw out bearing pushes back on fulcrum arm and that
pushes piston forward. I need to lengthen the fulcrum point on my smitty 5
speed system so the clutch engages higher up. Some day I will.<BR><BR>
