The Rover season has not started well for me this year =( The latest problem is:
I have problems with the clutch on my 2200TC -74. The clutch pedal has not had any real vigor in recent 200 miles, and for about 50 miles I began to notice that the clutch is not fully released, and it became harder and harder to get in the gears. In the end it was impossible to get in the gears at all. Since the pedal felt soft / strange I suspected that the slave cylinder needed to be replaced which I did (but no leakage), and bleeded the system several times. Elasticity in the pedal then came back, and the push rod under the car moves fine. This should make both the slave and the master cylinder to be okay. The only problem is that the clutch still does not disengage; the gears can't get in. I can get it to reverse but not without scratch. If I start the car in gear and release the clutch it will judder/vibrate until the pedal is fully released and it is not possible to change to second gear (or another gear for that matter). What could the problem be? Misaligned pedal due to new slave cylinder? Something wrong in the clutch / gearbox leading to that the box needs to be taken out of the car? I have bleeded the system several times since I thought air could be the problem but it doesn't help, there is no air left.
