Well, you've all been helpful before ...

Just finished rebuilding my TR6's brake and clutch hydraulics.  The 
hydraulics seem ok  -- feel good when applying pressure.  However, the 
clutch will not disengage to allow me to select any gear.  The Haynes manual 
implies that the clutch itself could be "Stuck" or the hydraulics aren't 
working.  How can I tell for sure?

The slave cylinder moves when applying the clutch peddal.

The drop arm from the transmission can be moved by hand, however, it seems I 
can only jiggle it (it moves loosely) front to back about 1 cm.  At both 
extremes it comes to a sudden and dead stop.  Is this the way it normally 
should move?  I would expect it to feel more like a tight spring, right?

Be gentle with me -- do I need to pull the transmission and rebuild the 
clutch ???

Thanks in advance.

Ross
75 TR6
