TR3 small mouth.  finishing up years long restoration.  car is running =
(YAY!!!) and driving.  it now has 1 mile on it.

but the clutch has to be pumped to work.  I=E2=80=99ve bled it several =
times but it has made no difference.  I=E2=80=99ve carefully inspected =
around the master and slave;  I don=E2=80=99t think it is leaking =
anywhere.  brake fluid seems to go down very slowly in the reservoir =
when I bleed. =20

any thoughts?  bleed it some more?
