G'day Paul
I had the same problem a few years back and lost count of the number of
times I had to take the box out and text something.
It turned to be the slave cylinder piston as its indent was much deeper than
original and therefore there wasn't enough fulcrum travel for the lever.

Subject: [Healeys] Clutch - stupid mistake??
I've replaced the carbon based throw-out bearing with a DW roller bearing
on my BJ8 (Diaphram Clutch).
I've set it up to speck..I've lengthened the rod on the slave such that
there is only 1/8" of play with the plunger on the slave fully depressed. I
cannot lengthen the rod any longer.
I've taken the inspection plate off (metal plate that fork rubber boot
attaches to) and had a look at the articulation of the bearing against the
diaphragm..everything looks fine.
HOWEVER, Clutch does not disengage when pedal is fully depressed...the
input shaft is always turning..can't change gears.
I've changed many a clutch in my life and I've never come across this
problem.
I have a suspicion of what the problem is (somewhat embarrassing) and wanted
some feedback before I pull the transmission (again!!) and verify.
Is it possible that I have the clutch disc in backwards?? Would that give
me these symptoms.
A thousand curses upon anybody who laughs at me and my stupidity!!
Thanks
Paul
