I am told that the Diaphragm-Type clutch TR4A and later do
not require the external return spring located between the
clutch operating lever and the flange around the slave. My
4A does not even have the holes that would accept the spring.
That being said, I have seen parts pictures for the TR250 which
DO show the spring! Does your flange have a hole to accept
the spring? Also, I doubt that it would hurt anything to add the spring...
