1. Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: Joe Lynn <jlynn604@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2005 11:52:00 -0500; I've just replaced all the hydraulics on my TR3A. This included rebuilding the two master cylinders and the clutch slave (done by Apple hydraulics), rebuilding the brake calipers (done by Triumph Res; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00100.html (9,025 bytes)
2. RE: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 09:30:15 -0800; And was there still free play in the slave linkage at that point ? That's a classic symptom of the dreaded broken taper pin. Nope. In fact, that should be just about the correct released position, p; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00102.html (8,677 bytes)
3. Re: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: Geo Hahn <ahwahnee@cybertrails.com>; Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2005 12:40:07 -0700; True, but... my 59 TR3A lacked a return spring for 20 years and operated w/o a problem. One day I realized it was gone (presumably missing from a time before I got the car) and I added one. The arm p; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00106.html (8,391 bytes)

RE: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: "John Herrera" <jrherrera90@hotmail.com>; Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2005 15:54:01 -0500; I'm thinking out loud, so forgive me if I'm off base, but is it possible to mount the slave cylinder on the wrong side of the mounting bracket thingie? I'm too lazy to go look at mine. John == This; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00110.html (7,820 bytes)

When I reconnected the slave linkage, there was no free play in the linkage. The lever was now as far back as I can push it by hand. I pushed the; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00123.html (8,315 bytes)
6. Re: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: Joe Lynn <jlynn604@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2005 21:32:52 -0500; Maybe this explains the mystery of the extra travel I have with the return spring: I installed the slave by starting on the side of the bracket towards the front of the car and pushing it back throug; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00126.html (8,760 bytes)
7. RE: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 19:00:38 -0800; Different sources disagree on the exact measurement, but it should be quite small, like 1/32". The smaller you set it, the more often you'll have to adjust the clutch, since it's important that ther; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00128.html (7,989 bytes)

RE: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 19:03:12 -0800; It's probably possible, but I believe the correct location is the one that requires the longest pushrod. It's shown that way in the TR4 workshop manual (which has the same slave components as TR3/A; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00130.html (7,605 bytes)
9. RE: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 19:05:04 -0800; I can say pretty definitely that that would be the wrong side. The photos and drawings in the workshop manual (which Haynes copied) are of the earlier slave, used on cars with Lockheed brakes. Or so; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00131.html (7,770 bytes)
10. Re: Clutch not releasing (score: 1): Author: Geo Hahn <ahwahnee@cybertrails.com>; Date: Sun, 06 Nov 2005 08:48:20 -0700; That's the exact situation I have. As Randall suggests, it is likely a broken taper pin and should be fixed soon. OTOH, it has taken me more than 20 years to figure out I have this problem.
