here is what I have done:

replaced the hose using one that came out of a running early tr4.  made =
no difference

substantially lengthened the push rod from the slave cylinder by =
screwing out the pin holder.  this really helped =E2=80=93 went from =
multiple pumps to working on the second.
=20
replaced the slave cylinder from a running early tr4.  back to the =
previous situation where it requires multiple pumps.  I did notice that =
there is no play whatsoever in the rod that comes out of the slave =
cylinder.  is that bad?

=20

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

=20

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

=20

any thoughts?  bleed it some more?
