Well, I must admit that I've learned something from this thread. I have a
problem clutch that I just haven't been able to adjust properly yet. The
GRINDING when going into reverse was miserable. However, based on some
advice by a listor that talked about MGs transmissions, last night I first
shifted into first, and then still with the clutch pedal depressed I shifted
into reverse. WHAT A DREAM!!!!
While I know that the clutch still requires adjusting, it is definitely
livable now.
This brings me to a question. I am now thinking that the heat from the
engine is causing my nylon clutch tube to expand, thereby causing a
reduction in hydraulic pressure. I've considered switching to a steel pipe
from the clutch master cylinder to the slave. However, I would then give up
any flex in the system. Is there a stronger alternative to the nylon tube
that will hold up to heat and hydraulic pressure?
Thanks!
