[TR] TR3 Clutch not releasing

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

Same thing happened on my TR6, and indeed, the fork was broken.


New clutch, rebuild gearbox, $4000 later, the car is happy and I am sad.

Try pumping the clutch two or three times in quick succession. If it 
then works or almost does, I'd suspect a broken fork pin. I stuck disc 
would not change the pedal feel. (I drove home once with that 
"technique".)
