My TR-6 (74 1/2) has always given around 20 mpg around town, and 26 on the highway. Of course, the faster one goes, the more the mileage will drop on the highway. There is nothing special about the s

First, check the master cylinder level, then bleed the system. If that does not fix it, then you likely have a bad master and/or slave cylinder. Don't drive the car until you do these, because in for

First place to check is the solenoid. It could well be jamming. They get old, and dirt gets into the space between the plunger and the barrel of the solenoid. Most of them will make a distinct "snap"
