A while later we turned into the dirt road leading to the farm . I shifted
from third to second ... but no luck . From neutral it doesn't want to go
into any gear while engine is running . Clutch pedal feels OK . Fluid
levels
are OK .  If I put it in first gear , press the clutch pedal and start the
engine it stalls ... Sad , very sad :-(

Have I killed my TR ? Did I damage her clutch ?

Chris,

I doubt it.  Sounds like you have some air in the hydraulics.  Check the
fliud level in the reservoir.  If that is OK check the return linkage to
the slave cylinder.  I think it is just coincidence.  I doubt your incident
is related to your clutch problem.

Good Luck

Dave
