Whaat ?   The correct freeplay at the slave varies a little bit by source,
but should be more like 1/32".

This is measured as how far the pushrod can move out of the slave cylinder,
with it still connected to the operating lever.

Ok, you've lost me totally here.  Are we talking about a stock TR3A
transmission ?  There should be no adjustments inside the bellhousing unless
someone has substituted something.
