Earlier this year I was encountering problems with my TR-6 not wanting to
drop into reverse without turning off the car.  After going the route of
replacing the master and slave cylinders it ran great for several months,
but now has an unusual problem is when I first start driving the car the
clutch works great through all the grear but as it gets warmed up I start
having the problem with reverse and a small problem getting into first as I
down shift.

Re-bled the lines last Sunday and get air out and it drove fine then after
20 minutes started have the same old problem with reverse not stopping.

Should I replace the two pipes (metal and nylon) connecting the slave and
master cylinders?  This appears to be the only place air could be entering
the system?  To my knowledge these are original to the car.
