<blockquote>I have a mildly annoying problem with the brakes on my "76 TR6. When I<br>
first depress the pedal, it is relatively firm, but I can feel it "going<br>
down" slowly. If I release and immediately press the pedal, the pedal<br>
remains firm and does not have the same result.</blockquote><br>
Almost certainly the MC, IMO. My first Stag had the same problem when I<br>
bought it, and the MC eventually failed entirely! Both cups were torn at<br>
the base, so I'm guessing it just depended on how the cup came to rest<br>
against the plunger side as to whether it leaked that time or not.<br>
<br>
I also learned the hard way that the rear brakes alone won't stand up to<br>
freeway driving for long. Mine faded to uselessness fairly quickly and I<br>
wound up sailing through an intersection while yanking on the handbrake as<br>
hard as I could. Fortunately no one was coming and I was able to finish the<br>
trip to the shop to get the MC rebuilt; after a few minutes to regain my<br>
composure!<br>
<br>
Obviously, I would suggest getting it fixed sooner rather than later.<br>
