I've just found my clutch problem, the ball on the end is bending, so when set the clutch works for a while, the progressively becomes worse.

Does anybody body make stronger clutch arms ?

Cheers

Yes i had the same problem for years untill i tryed a Gen rover one. Does the trick, try and get a gen plunger to as it won't wear as quick.

Forgotten more than most ever know

Yeah, I have a pattern arm next to me at the office. It held for about 15 seconds, I pressed the pedal 5 times, the sixth broke the arm in two pieces. It cracked next to the ball. The fracture surface shows that there are darker marks at the circumference, meaning that the cracks were present when the arm was heat treated. I have a genuine arm in the garage, but an old Austin 1300 is currently fitted and holds.

I no im bringing up an old post but...

I have had exactly this problem as can be seen in the picture below and thought i might as well continue this.

Is it still possible to get hold of the genuine ones new?

i have had a look on a few sites and minispares are the only ones who list a genuine one but they dont have any.
