On a TR3, there are linkage adjustments at both the clutch slave and the
clutch master.  Both must be set so there is still some free play in the
linkage when the piston is pushed all the way home (for the slave) or is out
against it's stop (for the MC).  The adjustment at the master should not
need periodic attention, but the one at the slave does (to compensate for
clutch wear).  I check mine every 10,000 miles, as part of a lube job.

Of course, both should be checked if the components have been disturbed, or
if you're having clutch problems.
