- On my (new!) '78 B, it has one of those "features" that reduces the idle speed when the clutch is depressed, ostensibly to reduce idle emissions (by reducing idle) while you're sitting with the clutc

- 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

- Purely anecdotally (no personal experience), but I have heard from several sources that the roller throw out bearing is more prone to trouble than the original style. This seems to be contrary to you

- I've never heard it described as an emissions reducer before. It is not compulsory (mine doesn't do it) and is usually caused by the crankshaft thrust-washers having worn, allowing the pressure from

- I fitted a roller-bearing last time, and after a few thousand miles it has started 'wittering' just as I take up the free play. I don't know what I was thinking of. Did I really think I would leave t

- Hi Paul, I used a ball/roller throwout bearin when I rebuilt my '70 B many years ago. Also put in a compatible heave duty clutch and pressure plate. Sold the car 5 yrs later; had had no probs in the
