Good luck. If you are still on I have a quick question. Got my TR250 [TR5]
to run this week [big achievement]. Took it out to test drive and the
engine is not talking to the tranny. Clutch must be stuck in the engaged
position. I just installed it. All I can think of is that the part with
the clutch fingers is too "tall" for this setup. I had been using it [it is
a Spec] with my Toyota conversion. I am now back to the TR tranny. Thought
the clutch's were interchangeable. Does my reasoning seem sound as I am
about to pull the %%&&** tranny again.
