I just recently bought a TR6 and the trans really never engaged correctly, plus the clutch pedal seemed very soft. I just bearly got it home before it would no longer shift into gear. I removed the slave cyl.(the fluid was done) and rebuilt it. I bleed it and the pedal still seems very soft(no pressure),there are no visable leaks anywhere. The slave rod seems to move out, but the clutch does not engage. I figured that the clutch fork pin is broken and there is no pressure against the clutch fingers cause the throwout bearing is just riding on the shaft and not pushing on the clutch plate fingers.
A knowledgable TR specialist came over and shifted the trans into all gears(with the engine off) and stated if the trans can be shifted into all gears that the pin is good and he suggested redo all the hydraulic system. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can shift a trans thats sitting on my workbench into all four gears and it has nothing to do with the clutch fork pin. Am I missing something????.
Is there a way to check if the fork pin is broken or not with the trans in the car?
I did order new Master and slave rebuild kits and will rebuild them again and also add a new clutch hose.
Am I in the right direction or do you think I have to remove the trans and fix the pin. Thanks
