<p>If you mean the clutch pushrods, if that appeared to fix it then
something else was wrong that was fixed in the process.</p>
<p>All the slave pushrod does is position the slave piston in the
slave cylinder. The MGB system is self-adjusting which means that
when you release the clutch pedal the clutch cover springs push
the release ring back, which pushes the release bearing back,
which pushes the release arm back, which pushes the slave push-rod
and piston back, which pushes fluid back into the master
reservoir. The length of the slave push-rod doesn't directly
affect that. If it's too long it can bottom the piston in the
cylinder and prevent the clutch from being fully engaged, which
can cause clutch slip. If it's too short fluid displacement from
the master can push the piston out of the end of the cylinder.<br>
</p>
<p>If the master push-rod is shorter than it should be then the
pedal footpad is lower than it should be, it doesn't travel as far
as it should before reaching the floor and you get a low biting
point. That can cause grinding when selecting reverse, which was
covered way back, and there has been no response to that or any of
the suggestions. If that push-rod is lengthened the pedal pad
sits higher and can travel further, which can push the pressure
seal to the end of the cylinder and damage it.<br>

Try adjusting the pushrods, making them longer. I know it sounds
crazy, but i had a similar problem and that fixed it. People on
this list even said don't do it, but i did it anyway. Now it
works</blockquote>
