Hi List!
I've been reviewing some 'new' threads for the second edition of my
manual & came across this thread one:
 
Subject:           Master or Slave
problem

All was good then one day I had to pump the clutch pedal a
few times to get it
to disengage. I first thought, air in the line or low
fluid. Fluid was good so
bled the line... twice... no soap. So, I suppose I
need to narrow this down to
the master or the slave cylinder. Both were
rebuild just 4 years, 3,500mi, ago
and have been performing flawlessly up
until now.

Is there a way to determine whether it is the M/C or the S/C, so I
can maybe have
a chance of starting in the right place?

There is basically no way for the slave to fail, except to leak fluid. If no
leak, it's not the slave cylinder. And even if it does start leaking, the leak
will likely be slow enough that low fluid will be the first thing you notice
(not having to pump the pedal).

Check out the MC first, definitely. But your
description sounds suspiciously
like the dread broken taper pin.

I've been working on a friends TR4 with the same problem (soft peddle). I
was told, with the MC Blead & in the car, Plug the outlet of the MC& press the
peddle down. If the peddle is firm (hard), then the problem is futher down the
line.-Cosmo Kramer
