Stu, what type of trans fluid are you using? I had to use ATF in my TR7
and TR8 transmissions so I could shift easily.
I would also check to see if when you put the clutch in the crankshaft
is not moving forward excessively. You can do this by having some one
watch the fan blade or end of crankshaft outside front of engine. This
would indicate a thrust washer problem and would cause loss of motion on
the clutch because the flywheel is moving with the crankshaft.
I hope it's just a fluid problem but I had a very similar problem on a
TR7 that turned out to be tthrust washers/crankshaft problem.
Good luck,
Lenny
