Hi Tab, Depressing the clutch puts some stress to the engine in some way. This is very normal for the MGB and propably for many other MG's using the B series engine. So it cannot be reduced or taken

I don't have one of those "new fangled" rubber bumper Bs, but I believe you'll find that this is a characteristic of the carbon throw out (release) bearing, and not an emissions reduction feature. La

You might try the roller throw out bearing. I am personally very happy with it and I know many others are too. I think that it also aleviates many of the problems with riding the cluch and related is
