O.K. TR Geeks,
I am just finishing the restoration of my 54 TR-2 Long Door. I have the engine running fine, but am having a problem with the Clutch Slave Cylinder.
The master cylinder is new and the brakes work fine. The Slave Cylinder, new, doesn't want to be bled? The MC is full of fluid but I can't bleed the SC. The air bubbles just move up and down. My wife is operating the pedal and I am under the car opening and closing the bleed valve. The clutch lever moves about 1/2" but not enough to engage the clutch. I bought a new spring and I have two rods, one is about 1" longer then the other, came off the old SC. I am using the longer rod, the spring seems to be pretty tight?
What am I doing wrong??
Dick
