I have installed a good number of Sachs pressure pates from BPNW with not a
problem.

Subject: [Fot] TR6 Clutch

Not a race car, but we are working on a one owner 1974 TR6 with only 25K
miles that has been sitting for 40 years.  We got it running, but the clutch
is slipping and needs to be replaced.  Any suggestions for a reliable street
set-up and supplier?

I've retired from racing my TR3, but still enjoy the FOT posts, especially
the in-car track videos!

Vroom, vroom,

 Hi,
I've done dozens of TR6 clutches at this point. The "magic clutch" combo of=
 the Sachs PP and a proper clutch disk is a great option. I also have done =
a lot of Borg and Beck setups from Goodparts. Just make sure to match the t=
/o bearing to the type of fingers on the PP. Curved fingers =3D flat face o=
n t/o bearing and flat fingers =3D curved t/o bearing face. I'm, also a fan=
 of the bronze t/o bearing sleeve that TRF sells. There's no pin to stop th=
e rotation so you don't get dents in the sleeve that wind up limiting the a=
mount of clutch action. TRF used to include "bear grease" with the Magic Cl=
utch kit, but I've used regular axle grease - sparingly - and no take backs=
. The Borg and Beck kits come with lube for the splines - that's really imp=
ortant for cars that don't put on a lot of miles because the clutch disk ca=
n rust onto the transmission input splines when the car sits for a long tim=
e.
Take your pick on suppliers, but Goodparts has been great for me. BPNW is g=
reat too. And TRF, of course.
