<The clutch pedal goes to the floor without working the clutch on a 75B I'm
looking into. Any pointers?
Feels like its lack of hydraulics.>
Rick, I noticed the same problem a couple of days ago. I jacked up the back
of my 79' MGB last week for a little work on the fuel pump. When I let the
car down I noticed the fluid from the clutch master cylinder had all leaked
out on the driveway. Strange !! Anyway, I filled the reservoir again but
still no clutch action. I assume the lines need to be bled of air. But what
on earth would make this happen? Is there some kind of overflow or is
possibly some drain plug missing on the transmission? I don't drive this car
often (especially since its damned cold here lately). But I will have to deal
with the problem soon, when the weather gets warmer and the urge hits me to
putt around in the "B". Any suggestions? Sounds like we might have the same
problem, its probably air in the line. Any suggestions from the educated and
distinguished members of this group? Would anyone like to step up to the
podium and shed some light on this situation? Thanks in
advance...........Bill in Misery...EEEERrrrrrr...Missouri
