        I you haven't figured it out yourself yet you need to bleed the 
        clutch slave because it is on a separate hydraulic system... Looking 
        at your TR's master cylinder assembly you'll notice there are two 
        reservoirs. The smaller of the two is your clutch master cylinder.

        BTW, if you have occasion to remove your car's clutch slave cylinder,
        maker sure you position the bleed nipple on the top. It may make it
        a bit harder to bleed the clutch line but you will be able to get all 
the 
        air out more easily.
