I have a 1973 MG Midget 1275 Damask Red called Rosa.
I recently replaced the gearbox after having 3rd gear synchro issues. Everything went back in without issue, except for the cursing that went on trying to get the gearbox back into the tunnel and connected to the drive shaft. For a month I had no issues until I felt this noise when I engaged the clutch. When I went to take a look at it and do some diagnosis, it was not apparent until about 10 minutes of testing. When engaging the clutch the gearbox changes without issue, but there is a noice and pressure engaging and disengating the clutch. I believe it is one side of the release bearing that is coming lose. Is there a way you can fix this with the gearbox in. I noticed the bung hole that I can remove and have access to or am I going to have to bite the bullet and remove engine and gearbox again.
Thanks,
Allan
