<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Hi again Dave,
<div>After looking at your youtube again - I can't quite tell if reservoir seal is a problem.. now I'd say rubber hose has swelled such that operation is hindered going both directions. </div>
<div>After not driving my TR4 for some 10 years my clutch would not re-engage for several minutes after taking foot off clutch pedal. Turned out the inside of rubber hose had swelled shut - with a heavy foot I could force clutch to disengage but clutch springs could barely overcome the restrictive hose. </div>
<div>Maybe your hose is constricting - your comment of 'slow bleeding process' seems to support this theory.</div>
<div>Again - good luck,</div>
<div>Carl '63 TR4 since '74<br>

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.</tt></pre></blockquote></div>
