John,
The measurement distance from the slave cylynder to the center of the clutch
shaft middle hole is about 4.25 inches at rest. The clutch shaft arm only
needs to move about a 1/2 inch to disengage the clutch. The clutch pedal
travel to disengage the clutch should be around 1/2 to 3/4 of the full travel
to the floor. If the clutch is disengaging with the clutch pedal buried in the
floor board, the likely culpret would be the clutch fork pin being broken and
allowing the clutch fork to move on the clutch shaft requiring greater movement
of the clutch shaft arm to disengage the clutch. There is an article about the
broken clutch fork pin on one of the triumph web sites. I'm sdure that one of
the other fellows could give the web address to you.
My too cents worth,
Greg Perry

Subject: TR6 Clutch -PLEASE HELP!-
I am putting a Six togther and just started it. It has a new clutch,pressure
plate, t/o bearing,braided line,clutch pushrod,slave cylinder,silicone fluid
and a rebuilt clutch m/c. When I go to bleed the clutch it seems like the
pushrod is way too short,if I bleed the system and shift the gears while
it's running on jackstands it wants to spit the pushrod out of the slave
cylinder. It has already spit the piston out of the slave cykinder twice.Do
I need an adjustable pushrod? Please help!
