John,
I am pretty sure a TR3 and TR4 trans are the same, less the 1st syncro. So..
can I
suggest you check the TAPER PIN which secures the clutch operating fork to the
Clutch operating shaft. If this pin is broken ( which is a common problem if
installed incorrectly) this could explain the symptoms you describe.
Unfortunately
you will have to remove the transmission to check. Good luck.
