Not 100% correct. A fellow Delaware Triumph club member has had an
ongoing clutch problem for over 2 years and had replaced everything
hydraulic in his TR6. It was not the mechanical clutch components. He
finally replaced again(two brand new ones) the master cylinder and that
solved the problem. After contacting The Roadster Factory they admitted
to a bad batch of new master cylinders being manufactured without
anyones knowledge and that was the culprit of the TR6 owners problem.
After 2 years of horseing around and changing things, countless numbers
of bleeding the system and a host of mechanics working on the car- all
because of faulty brand new parts!
