Update on this weekend. Decided to go ahead and reinstall the transmission
using the new clutch fork, shaft and pin that I had gotten even though there
was nothing apparent wrong with the parts removed other than slight wear.
On the install, did use 5/16 inch pilot bolts suggested and it made the job
sooo much easier than before. Thanks for the suggestion. Started it up on
Saturday morning and drove for 5 miles and the issues reappeared. Without
the transmission cover on I could see I was getting good motion but I was
just not getting full disengagement and the clutch was activating with the
peddle just off the floor. Then decided to bleed again and called a friend
to help just as I had employed my daughter for assistance. It was then I
remembered reading about the bleeding method described in the manual. Just
but the end from the bleeder valve in fluid, open the valve and pump the
peddle a few times. Double checked this and decided to try this before my
friend came over. Incredible...the peddle felt completely different and low
and behold, problem solved. Spend 4 more hours today reinstalling
everything else including draining the 90 weight gear oil out and replacing
in with Non-detergent 30 weight and I'm done. Even had time to give it a
wash and my winter project is over. Transmission woes and cured, OD has
been added, new carpet installed and now all I want to do is drive. And
just in time for Drive your British Car Week. Thanks for all the help.
