Peter, Jerry & List,
Several of us in Ohio have been having a similar problem we dubbed the
"Sticky Clutch" or "Binary Clutch". I just placed an article on our
website describing our problem, our guess as to the cause and experience to
date with our fix. The article is accessed via the link below, then the
technical button and then "Sticky Clutch under the clutch heading.

| I have a similar problem with a '75 TR6. It has a new clutch and sticks

| point is well off of the floor. I've been told that it's a broken fork
pin,
