Sounds more like clutch worn out to me.  Where's the biting point?  That
gets slowly higher as it get towards the end of its life, if it's more than
half way up it's probably wear.  On an MGB at least there is a hole in the
bell housing that oil drips out of if either the crank or first motion shaft
oil seals gave failed, but only the crank one usually gets oil on the
clutch.

Quit in what way?  No drive?  Or no disengagement when you push the pedal?

Can't see it being push-rod problems or it would have been like it all 
along.  Is it adjustable on the MGA?  It's fixed on the MGB, the clutch 
system is self-adjusting so doesn't need to be separately adjustable.
