sounds like there is still air in the system.
The TR6 clutch system really sucks and is a pain to bleed.
One thing, are you using DOT5 (silcone) fluid?
If so then just drain it and switch to Castrol DOT4.
My system would just never bleed right with DOT5. I
switched back to DOT4 and presto, done.
Did you make certain that the slave cylinder bore was
perfectly clear of any grooving? It is REALLY sensitive
to imperfection. I am in the habbit of just replacing
them instead of messing with a rebuild. They are so
poorly sized to begin with.
