Do you have any oil dripping out of the transmission bell housing? I was
wondering if your rear engine seal is a little leaky and letting some oil
get on the clutch plate. Can't imagine how the oil would "round the bend"
from the engine side of the flywheel to the back, but that would explain the
slipping.

Subject: slipping clutch
Okay, I was going out to eat in my '76 TR6 (non overdrive) and while sitting
in traffic I noticed that it would slip in second gear when I put some
strain on it much to my dismay. I went on to dinner and when we got through
eating, the only thing I could make slip was the tires as they began to burn
rubber. Any Ideas? I thought that maybe for some reason the clutch rod was
getting stuck. Is there an adjustment? I checked my manual but it only shows
adjustments for TR4's with threaded pushrods.
