[TR] The story (drags on) continues

A couple of thoughts on your clutch issue.

1.  Is the slave cylinder installed with the bleeder valve on top?  The 
hose and bleeder valve are interchangeable so you just need to swap them 
if they are not in the correct orientation rather than turn the slave over.

2. If so you can try removing the slave with the hose attached and then 
bleed with the cylinder pointing down wards so the bleeder is absolutely 
at the highest point.  Yes you will have to remove the oil filter 
adapter but at this point that seems pretty minor.

3.  I had a similar problem with a TR4.  The master cylinder seal was 
worn and if you pumped the pedal quickly it would suck air in past the 
master cylinder seal on the return stroke.  The proper way to fix this 
is to rebuild the master but if you return the pedal slowly to the up 
position during bleeding you can get the air out and get the car home.
