No, I don't think a lack of return of the master cylinder piston is the
problem. The pedal is equally hard to push through the entire range. It
feels like a real Triumph clutch.
One thing I think I'm going to try is to place additional washers between
the slave cylinder and the transmission flange to move the slave cylinder
closer to the clutch throw lever. I'm thinking this might help get more
movement to disengage the clutch.
Any thoughts on how much spacing in too much spacing? I don't want to harm
the thrust washer.
Thanks again to all who have helped.

Subject: Re: Slave Cylinder placement (was: tr6 clutch low grab)
one more thought now that I've diagrammed it...wonder if the master piston
is
being pushed out fully by it's internal spring (returning to proper resting
position when you take foot off pedal). Everything is externally spring
loaded to 'return home' (pedal location) so a stuck piston (that is not
returning home) might go un-noticed. Does it feel kinda easy to push the
pedal at first ...then touches a harder spot as the foot activated push rod
makes contact with the master piston..?.
