In my opinion you should scrap the old mechanical clutch completely 
and put in one of Herman Van Den Akkers Hydraulic models, although 
originally designed for his 5-speed conversion, he now has a version 
for TR2-6 original transmissions.  I have one in Casper (TR3) and the 
5-speed and can tell you it makes a HUGE difference.  AnnaBelle's TR6 
has a B&B clutch and her left leg is getting much bigger than the 
right due to the intense pressure required ...
While  I  merely have to feather foot the clutch on Casper ... now 
your only  problem is to get Herman to  send you one ... not cheap, 
but a wonderful improvement, makes number ONE in my list of the top 
ten desirable improvements to our great little cars.
