[TR] problem with clutch

[Randall]

Uh, Dave, your photo actually shows a Girling slave, mounted in the correct manner for a Girling slave.  The workshop manual photo
is of a Lockheed slave, which was mounted differently.
 
Attached is a factory photo, showing the correct setup with the Girling slave.
 
So, it may not be your mechanic's fault.  If moving the slave to the other side of the bracket solved your problem, then you very
likely have a broken taper pin.

check the attached photos.
 
the complete and total moron mechanic who put a lot of this car together put the slave on the wrong side of the bracket.  wasted a
lot of time due to his incompetence.
 
but I do want to thank all of you who helped me piece this together and arrive at a solution.  ALL suggestions were helpful.  thank
you again.
 
I was under the car trying to get the pushrod right when I realized that from an engineering standpoint it was done completely wrong
- no one would design it so the bolts took the stress; you would design it so it pushed against the bracket.  then I checked the
manual and found this picture.
