TR6 triumph tr6 clutch problem

Hello just wanted to see if anyone could help me out with this problem, just got a tr6 that was stored for three years it did not have slave cylinder on it so i fitted new one, when i bled it the piston came nearly all the way out and got stuck, no oil came out of the hose to bleed it the nipple was open.
not sure if this is a clutch fork problem, has anyone got any ideas? would be most gratful for your help

Sounds like a broken taper pin to me. Unfortunately, the only cure is to pull the gearbox and replace the pin (plus maybe some reinforcement so it doesn't break again).
Then you can work on whatever the hydraulic issue is.

Make sure you have the slave cylinder mounted on the back side of the mounting plate and not the front(as I did my first time), as that will cause the rod to over extend and possibly come out of the housing.

I've done the same thing (I think twice even - blonde). It's not that intuitive that you should first put the slave through the bracket and then affix the hydraulic hose rather than hook the hose up first and then attach the slave to the bracket but thats the way it's supposed to go.

Pull the operating lever as far away from the slave as you can by hand, then look at the angle it makes with the slave pushrod. Normally, the angle will be slightly greater than 90 degrees, meaning the lever still slopes towards the slave. If you can see that the lever slopes away from the slave (angle less than 90 degrees), then there is definitely a problem inside the bellhousing. Most likely the taper pin, but could be something else.

Is the slave mounted on the correct side of the mounting plate that attaches to the bellhousing?

thanks again slave is mounted on the right side, have a feeling its inside the bell housing, the car was off the road for 3 years when i got it, it did not have the slave cylinder on, and i can now see some hammer marks on the fork so maybe thats why it was put away for that period of time. thanks again
