Hi Nick,
The way I see it there’s only a couple of variables left.  Which hole is your slave attached to on the clutch fork?  Does it make a difference if you move it to the “furthest out” hole? 
How is the surface of the flywheel?  I’m sure you checked it out changing all those parts.  Maybe it’s burred and causing the clutch to grab?  Did you scuff it down a bit?   
Here’s the long shot.  What about the crankshaft thrust washers, is there all of a sudden too much play, like a thrust bearing fell out? Maybe it’s changing the way the clutch slave interacts with the pressure plate.
That’s all I got!

Very weird that changing all those parts has no effect. You changed the clutch hose : also the metal part of the line?It seems that the bearing doesn't follow the clutch pedal over some distance and is catching up then at a sudden.How is the clutch pedal feel? Marcel

OK, so I've had a weird problem with the clutch on The Duke of Oil (TR4A). It suddenly started acting like an off/on switch with no chance of slippage to get goin. The engagement was so sudden that it broke a side gear in the locker. Upon review everything appeared well within spec. I changed the clutch disc. transmission input shaft and changed the throwout bearing sleeve. No dice...same issue.Got it apart again and have changed everything...disc, pressure plate, bearing, crankshaft bush, cross shaft bushings, clutch hose, clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder...pedal assembly seems smooth without any binding. Have also double pinned the throwout fork to the cross shaft.
SO...any thoughts?
Also have pinned the throwout bearing flange so that it will not spin on the sleeve. Anybody else pin the flange, or do you let it turn on the sleeve? Why/why not?
