Hey, same as my 72 midget.
But the "list" convinced me that this is a normal condition for a
Midget. With the MG in 1st or rverse, sitting on a slight hill,
when you press the clutch in and give a little gas, does it roll
down the hill? Or go with the gear? Mine rolls. Hence the clutch is
really disengaged. Just no synchro in 1st and reverse. I compensate
by sliding it into a synchro'ed gear for a smidge, then slide it into
1st or reverse. Works for me ... usually.

To all,
Looking for some net wisdom on MGB clutch slave travel. Do any of the
original shop manuals (or other sources) have the EXACXT TRAVEL that the
slave cylinder should deliver for proper clutch operation.
I am very confident I have all air out of the system. The clutch is still
very slightly engaged when the peddle is fully depressed. This is noticable
when shifting into reverse and 1st.
I am trying to determine if the problem is in the actual clutch (maybe a
slightly bent fork) or a little less than adequate travel being applied by
the master / slave system.
