     There has been some discussion on the list about flexible clutch hoses 
     which the TR250 has as you well know.  Might want to check if the hose 
     wall is breaking down and expanding under pressure causing a reduction 
     in slave cylinder travel.  That may account for your clutch barely 
     releasing at the bottom of travel and re-engaging too soon.  I'd be 
     interested in knowing what the root problem you find.  Hope you make 
     Richmond.
