[TR] problem with clutch

[Allen Hess]

Given that it works by pumping makes me think that a broken fork pin is certainly possible (based upon my previous experience). If you disconnect the pushrod and lightly move the arm back and forth. When the arm stops against the clutch or the trans give it an extra push and you might feel it move a bit more. The broken pin will give the fork a little back and forth play on the shaft.

Hoping that it's not a broken pin.
