I'm experiencing much the same issues on my TR3 as the post with the TR250, in a recent post. I have followed that thread. I decided to check the hydraulics one more time before I bought a clutch and pulled the trans.
1) there are no signs of leakage from either the master or slave cylinder.
2)I have bled the system twice...but did not prime or bench bleed prior to installing.
3) There is not a lot of play in the linkage at the slave push rod.
4) ??? I can push the push rod back into the slave cyl by hand with minimal pressure,THEN it takes one push of the clutch pedal to get the piston back in contact with the push rod. Is this right or does the system still have air?
Initially the clutch plate was stuck. I ,intermitantly, still have to bump the starter while in gear to seemingly free the clutch. When driving it will intermitantly either not downshift and after a stop..grinds in 1st and will not go. I can turn engine off and put it in gear, bump the starter and it works again. The fact of it being intermitant,keeps me hopeful.
Question is...Will someone tell me to go ahead and put a clutch in it, and quit d'ing around???
