Re: 67 MGB transmission request (score: 1): Author: Randy Wilson <randy@taylor.wyvern.com>; Date: Wed, 12 Jan 1994 21:32:46 -0500 (EST); The original message also mentioned a noise with the clutch released. With that in mind, I would guess it chewed up the graphite ring. Ummm sorry, but MGB's had the graphite bearing right up to the; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00249.html (9,724 bytes)

The Truimph 1500 engine is notorious for this, especially the Midget v; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00542.html (9,507 bytes)
