[6pack] My damned clutch

[Timbo00001 at aol.com]

Have you made sure that the breather hole in the cap of the clutch fluid  
reservoir is open?  It sometimes plugs with dried fluid + crud.  My  '72 is 
long gone, but I love sharing ongoing misery.

Dear fellow knuckle heads ( for owning  these demon Triumphs) :))


I changed the slave cylinder (clutch),  bled it, bla, blah,bla . Due to my 
overall
health, the room between the  car and my garage wall, and mental health
 it took me quite a while  ( months ) to finish
by any competent mechanic, the  two hour job.
Purchased my '74 TR6 in 1998.  Ok, so much for the back round info.  I took 
it for a short drive
just  to test my work, it  worked well. It sat two weeks before I bravely 
set out on a 2 mile round
trip to CVS.  Turning off  the main road into the parking lot and !!! 
SURPRISE !!!! it wouldn't go into  2nd gear.
It wasn't pretty driving home  but got it into the yard.  Wouldn't go into 
any gear.
The only thing I could think  of besides toping off the clutch fluid, down 
1/4", Would possibly
be the clutch lever which has  three holes in it.  I don't remember which 
hole 
I used.  Assuming I had  it in the center hole, which hole would move the 
clutch most (and  hopefully)
make the damn thing work.  I'm tired of being afraid to drive it and have 
absolutely NO MORE MONEY  to spend on repairs. 
Probably spent $3,000 in the  last year and a half.
