First, the free play and clutch pedal travel on my race car with Toyota 5
speed won't help you. I have a Tilton 7-1/4" two plate racing clutch with
an annular hydraulic throw out bearing.
Secondly, the Nissan transmission swap in the other Healey was relatively
easy because it is still connected to the Nissan motor. Please look again
carefully at the photo of my engine. It's out of a Datsun 280Z .
