Darrell-
I agree 100%. I have used the Sachs PP/Toyota TOB/B&B
Disk combo very successfully.
If folks want to spend the $ on Gunst bearings and all
that stuff, then that is their business. I'll
continue on with what provides to most bang for the
buck (for me).
I think one major key to long clutch life is keeping
your foot off the clutch (i.e. don't sit at red lights
with your clutch depressed.....put the car in neutral
and let up on the clutch). Also, start the car in
neutral with foot OFF the clutch. That goes more
toward preserving your thrust bearing though.

Guys,
Not sure where I am coming into this but I am using
the Saab Clutch
conversion with the Toyota bearing as first engineered
by JK Jackson, I
think? No
special stuff other than new fork pins. No Gunst and
all that. Just
good
installation of quality parts. Not even sure where
they came from
since they are
available from other sources including TRF. Both
cars, the TR6 and
TR250
have this conversion. They both work great with no
issues. Nice soft
clutch as
compared to original. Just came off a 1200 mile tour
to the 6-PACK
Trials
with both cars! Knock on wood, but I firmly believe
I am good for
around
40,000 miles.
Cheers,
Darrell
