 I know there's been lots of discussion about the triumph clutch, but I haven't 
seen my particular question addressed specifically. Hope someone can help.
 
I have replaced everything on my system. New master, slave, clutch, bearing, 
lever arm, and hose (with a braided hose). It has been bled. When pressing the 
pedal down, it feels as though the lever arm doesn't come into contact with the 
pressure plate until the pedal is at least half way through its range of 
motion. In other words, the first half of the movement is really soft, then 
firms up significantly the rest of the way. 
 
Watching the slave while someone else pushes the pedal, the cylinder moves the 
entire time, BUT, when the pedal is released, the slave cylinder only returns 
about half way to its full range. Pulling the clutch arm will push the cylinder 
back the full distance. 
 
I keep thinking there is air in the system, but I have bled it three times 
already. I haven't road tested yet, because I want to make sure it is OK first.
 
I just want to check if this is how it is supposed to work or should the slave 
cylinder move back to its furthest possible position?
 
Thanks,
Bud Trussell
