I would like some input from the list on a clutch issue.  When my TR3A
runs at 170 - 185 degrees the clutch works fine.  When the temp goes to 185
-
190 from sitting in traffic the clutch does not fully disengage as
determined  by a stiffer shift in forward gears and a grind going into
reverse.  1500
 miles on new thrust washers and I have changed over to Dot5 fluid.  The
rubber part of the clutch line is changed to stainless.  Newly rebuilt
tranny with new synchros.  I have pulled the return spring from the slave  to
check for play and all seems to be in order there.  This seems odd that  it
is
temperature related.
