Hi Phil, My clutch problems continue. My M3W is a 2015 manufacture. The clutch failed at 4800km. it has happened again at 4800km.
the original repair was done by the Sydney Australia Morgan service agency.
the repair included a new slave cylinder, spigot bearings & Centa rubbers.
this time they are replacing both the master cylinder & the slave cylinder.
I drive the car carefully to avoid lugging & keep the rpm around 2800 minimum.
It seems something is out of alignment.
What do you recommend? will your Centa bearing kit solve the problem & how much will it cost? I have a good mechanic who specialises in MGs & vintage cars.
Regards, Ken Jones
I trust this is resolved soon as you have had a shocking run with this new M3W.... How goes it Ken?. All fixed?

Finally bit the bullet & purchased Phil's Cush drive assembly to replace the Centa Coupling. including a new clutch plate .
Phil provided a wealth of details & the local Morgan Service Agent, Cremorne Prestige did an excellent job. Gone are the nasty shudders, particularly when stopping & the revs drop to idle passing through 2000rpm.
As Phil describes, I can drive smoothly at 2000rpm which means 60kph in fourth gear. Even the large Aussie style wing mirrors stopped vibrating!
It is now a pleasure to drive. Also took the advice to enlarge the bell housing to allow donut replacement without dismantling the engine & drive assembly. The new oil seal is a plus.
The Bleazey Cush Dive with extra bearing seems to solve a design fault which allowed the Centa Coupling to go out of balance if the donuts wear or disintegrate unevenly,
which happened very quickly with my M3W.

Glad to hear you are back on the road after all the issues you have had with your M3W.....
