Hi,I have a 1972 triumph spitfire 1300cc 4 speed. The problem is thus:When driving home The car stalled at a junction after I depressed theclutch pedal ie it shudderd to a halt.I selected neutral restarted the engine depressed the clutch pedal andattempted to put her into gear and she graunched and would not go intogear. There was no clutch.After seeking advice from the breakdown driver I bought new Master andslave cylinders from an online store fitted them, beld the system(thoroughly) and still no clutch.I realise at this stage I am more than likely looking at removing thegearbox. my question is what should I look for. The haynes manualdoes not cover this type of fault. Is the problem with the clutch oris there stuff in the bell housing or gearbox that I should be lookingat.Thanks in anticipationSteve
