For me, if anything it comes out as [Tr\@i], or ocasionally [T@r\i].

However, since it wasn't my inention to make this difficult to
pronounce, this is one aspect I'll have to chance... how bout r, j, and
l only after alveolar and postalveolar consonants. I have no trouble
saying /Sr/ or /Zj/.. do any of you?

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep you all posted on this.
