Hm. I rememeber THIS problem from when I rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder in Sybil a while ago (it died in Charlie Rockwell's driveway! Oh the embarassment. I die...) Anyway, What I recall was that
In my opinion, one should not waste one's money on the Haynes manuals, but get the Bentley ones. I have three: for my Jetta, for the Vanagon and for the TR6. I have found them to be complete, exhaus

I paid $1000 for Sybil in, oh, 87 or so. She wasn't running at the time, either. So $1500 for a running car sounds excellent to me. As for how far $2000 will go, I just this year painted Sybil, put
Anyone know how to adjust camber on the rear suspension of a TR6? Since I put in new springs the camber is way positive, expecially on the left, and I'd prefer a slight negative. The alignment shop s

Funny you should mention that -- I spent part of the afternoon working on my TR6 top seals. I took a look and didn't even try sliding it; I set one side of the seal into the rail and used a screw dr

I've not tried this myself, so judge for yourself if this is a good idea, but I think you could make a good press for veneering fascia panels ("dashboards" in 'merkin speak) out of two 2x12s: pick s

I went through this for a couple of years on my TR6 before I got it sorted out. It could be: + clogged pickup in the fuel tank + clogged fuel line + perished rubber fuel lines + bad fuel pump + clog

Good guess. There should be a flap of material at the rear of the top, under the window. The plate should fit snugly into the fold this forms. Center it carefully! If you don't the top will always b
