In short, NO. I was the patient who discovered, along with Mike, that
the cross shafts were not drilled correctly. Kai, apparently ran into
the same situation with TRF. We simply honed out the cross shaft and
everything appears fine.
I also contacted TRF to let them know that there may be an issue with
these parts; haven't contacted Moss. This shaft is most likely sourced
by all Triumph suppliers from the same company - my speculation - so be
on the lookout.

Subject: Re: Clutch cross shaft
Hello Listers,
I understand that the hydraulic clutch is self adjusting but if I
suspect
that my cross shaft is misdrilled, can an adjustable slave to fork push
rod take up the lost movement? I don't know all of the specifics
regarding the inner workings of the slave but in this case it seems that
the adjustable rod might work. I have not been totally satisfied with
the operation of my clutch but I don't have time this year to be pulling
the transmission out to check. I believe the clutch, plate, fork, T/O,
clevis pins, hydraulics and clevis holes in my car are ok.
If you get a chance, take a look at our new Web Page. It's still in the
infant stages but improving daily.
As always, thanks for the info.
