Have you made sure that the breather hole in the cap of the clutch fluid
reservoir is open? It sometimes plugs with dried fluid + crud. My '72 is
long gone, but I love sharing ongoing misery.

Dear fellow knuckle heads ( for owning these demon Triumphs) :))
I changed the slave cylinder (clutch), bled it, bla, blah,bla . Due to my
overall
health, the room between the car and my garage wall, and mental health
it took me quite a while ( months ) to finish
by any competent mechanic, the two hour job.
Purchased my '74 TR6 in 1998. Ok, so much for the back round info. I took
it for a short drive
just to test my work, it worked well. It sat two weeks before I bravely
set out on a 2 mile round
trip to CVS. Turning off the main road into the parking lot and !!!
SURPRISE !!!! it wouldn't go into 2nd gear.
It wasn't pretty driving home but got it into the yard. Wouldn't go into
any gear.
The only thing I could think of besides toping off the clutch fluid, down
1/4", Would possibly
be the clutch lever which has three holes in it. I don't remember which
hole
I used. Assuming I had it in the center hole, which hole would move the
clutch most (and hopefully)
make the damn thing work. I'm tired of being afraid to drive it and have
absolutely NO MORE MONEY to spend on repairs.
Probably spent $3,000 in the last year and a half.
