    Les,
    I had a similar problem with the clutch dragging. Like yours the clutch has a roller release bearing (but from Peter May as Alan's weren't available at the time).

    It was the slave cylinder.

    Usual suspects' slave cylinders partially cured the problem but it would recur when the engine was hot and they failed regularly.

    A NOS Lockheed from Paul Hunt finally cured ...

    I have started a new thread called "Clutch won't disengage".

    Is there a correct way round that the spring retaining clips go that hold the pads in to the calliper as one side legs are longer than the other.

  • Les Rose14 April 2026

    Oh dear. The new MC came from MGB Hive but it's a TRW one. I just read the relevant thread and residual pressure is mentioned. That seems to be what I am getting.

    I have decided to start a new thread as I have drifted way off the original topic. The story so far is here:

    To recap, this is a complete 1275 clutch system on a 948 engine. Roller release bearing which has never given any trouble in 11 years of use...

  • Les Rose14 April 2026

    Please excuse slow replied Paul, there was a short delay why I installed a new master cylinder. Sadly the clutch behaves exactly the same. I have made the pushrod adjustable and with it set at 2 11/16" there is no free play and the release bearing seems to be tight up against the release pad. At this setting I only have 5mm of pushrod movement. This is after bleeding the system again using the pr...

    🤣🤣🤣 Arie. Good one. 😄

  • T Mason14 April 2026

    Jeremy, Im fully aware of what Starmer is planning and he cant be allowed to get away with it. We shouldnt be pandering to anything that the EU want to bring in. Frankly I find this more concerning than the war in Iran.
