Sorry Bob....I'm not with the car until the weekend.

The slave is actuating perfectly well....unfortunately. I think its time to get inside the bell housing.

I don't have a soft pedal. It feels completely normal.

Gulp.

Bloody Hell! What was the failure mode on those little buggers? Clive

Is that the one on the outside of the bell housing?

I'll try this approach on Friday when I've got a bit of time.....what is your inclination? Many thanks

The only movement was about 5 inches forward with clutch nearly all the way up....pushed it back into shed in neutral.

The only related thing I have done is top up the clutch/brake fluid by about an inch.

Do you mean in and out Bob?....I'll have to check.

Yep has overdrive

Morning My 59 TR3A has seen fit to develop a clutch problem. Trying to pull away there is virtually no forward momentum even at 2k rpm and the clutch pedal almost completely up. Having initially thought it was the slave cylinder, I got my partner to sit in the car and depress the clutch pedal whist I observed the movement from the slave.....looked pretty healthy to me, moving the rod backwards about 2 and a half inches. Does this sound like complete clutch failure/bell housing off territory? Many thanks Clive
