You must be very lucky Randall or do a lot of highway driving. In 300,000 miles
on the TR-6. I can not remember how many times I had to yank a tranny because
of a failed T/O bearing. There were times during the 30 years when the car was
used for heavy city driving when the clutch was used far in excess of what is
normal for one of these beasties. The T/O B was almost always the first thing
to go in my experience. Of course others' results will vary.

Subject: RE: TR3A flywheel,TR4A Gearbox- What clutch?
Which I've replaced exactly one of in some 300,000 miles of TR ownership. Not
exactly a "troublesome" part by my definition, since it outlasts the clutch
plate. (Yes, I have changed a clutch plate without changing the TOB.)
If it suits you, Bill, that's fine with me. But the way I see it, Herman is
solving a problem that doesn't exist. Racers like taking their cars apart every
season ... I don't.
