Morris Minor Clutch Linkage Replacement & Adjustment

[@SethHorton-w2q]

1) For those with a left hand drive Moggie; it’s the same deal but on the left side of the gearbox. No funky linkage to the right side like the accelerator peddle. 2) Many thanks for the proper peddle travel measurements. It took me all of about 5 minutes to adjust on my 1955. 3) I’ve found that general area to be mostly self lubricating but I think I need to check a gasket now.

Very helpful. Excellent visual and description. I'm really confident to tackle my own now ! Thanks a lot.

Thanks for watching! Glad you got something from it, my films tend to not be “how to” videos but, more just bring you along for the ride kinda thing, but if it works then all good.

I'm so pleased I found this channel because I really rate your presenting style, so laid back, it's refreshing compared to some in your face channels elsewhere. I wish we were back in the old days where mechanical ruled over electrical, so much easier to fix things, alright the reliability wasn't as good but a fair trade off in my book.

[@graemew7001]

@@Richard-jp8rz You're so right, I spent £80 (cheap for electrical repair, granted) but that was because I didn't want to go near it. If I had it would have cost way more as I would probably have blown sensors etc.

[@badgerlodgegarage]

Glad your enjoying it! I prefer the laid back approach… can’t stand the fake drama you find on KZbin.

@@badgerlodgegarage Me either, I like real life, warts and all stuff, I don't do this bull for views type channels.

My clutch is nearly at the floor and has been for a long time, what a great video thank you

[@frglee]

At least a simple old car like this is fairly owner-repair-friendly. I remember my first encounter with a car that wasn't, a rented Ford Pinto in the USA in 1980. When it broke down on the second day of my American holiday in the middle of nowhere, I opened the 'hood' (as you do), to find a heavy and seemingly immovable plastic cover over the engine gubbins with the unfriendly inscription 'No parts owner serviceable'.

I learn something every time with your videos!

[@badgerlodgegarage]

Glad to hear it!

‘Surrounded by vast amounts of car’. Golden 😂

Thanks for this video. I now feel confident to take a look at the clutch adjustment on my 1963 Morris. Fingers crossed that all it needs is adjustment. Where did you purchase the replacement kit from?

[@badgerlodgegarage]

Glad to be of assistance! The kit was from ESM (East Sussex Morris Minors) they are very good!

[@stephen579]

I am going to replace mine as the clutch pedal feels like a tractor, and it's just had a new clutch fitted.

[@colvinator1611]

I'm just wondering why the brake pedal moves when you're adjusting the clutch pedal height ?

[@badgerlodgegarage]

It moves a little bit because both pedals are attached to the same shaft, in my case I imagine there is a bit of dirt or rust from all the years of use, so moving one does very slightly move the other.

[@colvinator1611]

@@badgerlodgegarage OK, thanks a lot..

[@FMFGUF]

@@badgerlodgegarage Yes, you should ideally oil up the shaft bushes occasionally to eliminate that, else they tend to wear quite badly if left to get dry/dusty...

[@gaz66chris]

lube those linkages man! (if you haven't already!)

[@badgerlodgegarage]

I did lightly lubricate the pins before assembling ( still need to do the threaded rod), I don’t want to go over board and attract loads of road dirt… but good spot non the less!

[@Phiyedough]

You need some lubricant on those bits.

[@badgerlodgegarage]

I Will lubricate the thread with something! I did lightly lube the pins and bushes before assembly. It’s very exposed so I don’t want to to attract too much dirt.
