Ummm.... my clutch grindeth

7. Clutches don't grind - tranny gears do though . . .

Check clutch (slave cylinder pushrod) adjustment, fluid level, and for any signs of leaks - would be damp around the slave cylinder on the side of the tranny housing.

Bleeding the air from these systems is a bugger - found a site that explains it fairly well

here's a link -->> http://www.mg-cars.net/mgb-technical-bbs/clutch-problems-wont-shift-into-any-gear-200808032048296648.htm

I doubt that the clutch itself is defective or excessively worn - worn out clutches just won't move the car, or start slipping on hard acceleration before they give up the ghost completely.

Your usage and storage habits suggest to me that there is not a reasonable indication of a clutch seized to it's pressure plate -

I do believe that your problem is within the hydraulics - leakage or adjustment.

My qualifications? - I am an Interprovincial Licenced Auto and Truck Mechanic (retired) in Ontario, got my papers in '75, started 'playing" with cars in '68 - I been around . . .
