Re: [TR] Clutch Fork Taper Pin

[terryrs@comcast.net]

Thank you, everyone.  It's mild slippage that only happens when I drop to third 
to pass, then shift to fourth at high rpm.  Slip disappears quickly, so I'll 
just bear it in mind and drive more cautiously until I have to do an R&R on the 
clutch at some point.

On a TR3A, the slave adjustment will be WAY loose, so much so that you cannot 
adjust it to spec with the stock pushrod & slave
position.

The other dead giveaway is the angle of the clutch lever, when pushed to the 
rear as far as you can by hand.  It should still angle
towards the slave slightly; if it angles the other way, you've probably got a 
broken taper pin.  Might possibly be a TOB or clutch
failure, but either way the gearbox has got to come out.
