I had the same experience this summer on my TR6.

I have a "Weird hitch in my giddy up" (yes I'm from Texas) that I must screw
something up first and read directions only as a last resort. 

The Tilton website has instructions for the clutch and throwout bearing that
you should read before you try to use their setup. The clutch pedal stop is
a must to keep from over stroking the clutch. Mine works like a charm now. 

Now it's onto screwing something else up,
Mike

Thanks for sharing this with the list. I am dealing with a car that 
has a Tilton clutch and was unaware of this potential problem. 
Knowing about it will probably save a damaged clutch in this car.
