Hi,

I=92ve been engaged on other things until recently. However, the clutch
continues to be an issue.

We got the gearbox back in OK. Wouldn=92t budge until we changed =
engine=92s
angle, then it slotted in.

With the aid of an old email of Michaels I have, I think and hope,
determined that the clutch itself can work=85..

=20

With the car in 4th and drive shaft disconnected I depressed the clutch
pedal by hand. With the tunnel cover off I was well able to watch the =
slave.

I got about =BD=94 to =BE=94 total movement of the slave cylinder=92s =
push rod at
which point =96 pedal depressed to the floor =96 the clutch was released =
ie I
could turn the flange that couples to the driveshaft by hand. =BD=94
depression=85..no movement of the flange. ie everything in the last =
=BC=94.

That=92s got to be hydraulics???

I=92ll bleed it again, maybe pushing backwards into master with the =
slave. But
I=92m not optimistic as I=92ve tried bleeding several times.=20

My clutch master cylinder has been in the car since I=92ve owned it. +/- =
25
years. Am tempted to replace it but hate throwing parts at a problem. =
Good
idea?

Another thing=85..I do confess to never having changed the fluid 100%. I
always push a load through and out when I have to bleed the brakes but
that=92s mercifully seldom.=20

Any comments=85.particularly re the 1/2 to 3/4 =93 travel???

Simon
