I recently replaced my clutch hydraulics (including master and slave cylinders), after my MG lost the ability to shift. I test drove it and was able to shift, but the clutch engaged lower than normal, and after some driving it got harder and harder to get into gear. Thinking that the low engage point could explain it, I took the clutch pedal out and fixed the ovoid hole where it connects to the push rod...but now I can't shift at all!
Travel of the clutch fork at the slave cylinder is just about 1/2", maybe 1/8" to 1/16" of an inch shy of 1/2" travel. I'm included to believe that it's being fully actuated, and there is pressure on the clutch pedal.
Does this sound like a clutch failure? What component may have failed? The car has 98,000 miles, and the PO <span style="font-style: italic">may</span> have rebuilt the clutch, but possibly not. Is my only option to pull the engine and transmission? What else should I do while I'm at it?
