To the lists:
It seems that nearly every posting to the 6pack & triumph lists in the last 6
months involving TR6/TR250 early clutch failure (clutch, release bearing, etc)
involved one of the mix & match clutch kits. I don't recall a single posting
dealing with standard parts. Am I imagining this or is there some data here?
Maybe I'm the only on that still uses standard parts.
