[6pack] Clutch sponging

[Andrew Uprichard]

I don't know about others, but I have had bad experiences with the aftermarket slave cylinders (and master cylinders).  If I can get my hands on original parts and they can be restored, this is now my preferred route.  

Might be wort the extra money to get the "OE" part you describe.

Subject: [6pack] Clutch sponging


So, I had a slow leak from my clutch space, bought one from Moss 580-770. I thought I bled it well but could not shift into gear with the car running. Felt firm. 
So I did some bleeding, a little air came out but now the clutch pedal is like pushing a feather and barely moves the push rod. 

So either it is defective or maybe the cylinder is also bad? 
Any thoughts?
Any suggestions for better components? I see several bores and versions exist. 
I have a 1976 TR6. 

Thanks!
