Duke,

Thanks for the update and pleased to hear that you got it sorted. As yet I have not had to do a slave on a 201 (hopefully I won't have to). Interesting what you mention about pushrod wear. When I first realised I had a problem with my clutch the first thing I did was to make the tool to check for clutch plate wear. That actually prevented me replacing the clutch (which was OK) and looking to the hydraulics for a problem. I was also fortunate to be advised by a friend of the bleeding procedure in the early Haynes manuals. Strangely, neither of my Haynes manuals (for the 201 or 124) mention this procedure, instead stating that a pressure bleeder is required. Regarding the clutch engagement point on mine, I guess it is fairly high (although nothing like when it had the master cylinder problem that would cause slip when hot). It certainly does not need to be mashed into the carpet to disengage.

Greg
