Helping a friend with a 1978 Midget 1500 that he recently inherited. The
clutch works fine through all of the gears, but the release bearing seems like
it is clattering against the pressure plate. You can stop the noise by
applying slight pressure to the clutch pedal. We removed the gearbox tunnel
and while idling in neutral, you can see the clutch lever vibrating. Removed
the slave cylinder from the pinch bolt housing and the clutch lever seems very
loose. Is the slave cylinder spring meant to apply enough pressure to the
clutch lever so that the release bearing is always in contact with the
pressure plate? If yes, then maybe that is the problem. If no, then how do
you pull the clutch lever away from the pressure plate? Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
