What they did was remove the spring and take a .025 inch off the tab that holds the spring in place on the back side of the piston within the slave cylinder. This gave them a little more throw from the slave cylinder piston has the rod force the piston to the back of the cylinder.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434884955354_3922" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434884955354_3923" dir="ltr">After reading that, I tried it with my TR6 slave cylinder when it was time for a rebuild. It has worked great without a spring for a couple years now. Some times you after wonder why the spring was added in the first place as the hydraulic fluid would force the piston out. Why the need for a spring unless it was to keep some pressure on the throw out bearing. If that was the case then you should have heard the throw out bearing making noise with a spring in three pieces.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434884955354_4285" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434884955354_4286" dir="ltr">The use of the German throw out bearing requires you have a spring to pull the bearing arm back.

I had a slave rebuild kit on hand and the slave looked<br>good (and honed to a nice finish inside) so I didn't plan to replace that end.<br>HOWEVER - that internal spring in the slave came out in 3 pieces, and the<br>rebuild kit does not include the spring. So... just order a new one, right?<br>TRF and Moss list "N/A" for the spring, and Vicky Brit shows one in the<br>catalog - at a price of $14.95! Wow, must be made of unobtainium. At that<br>price (and since I don't really trust VB) I might as well order a new complete<br>slave cylinder. Is that my only real option here?<br> Lee<br>P.S. Oh, I found a box containing the complete slave from my non-running 6 -<br>and it's in great shape and has the spring in it. I may just use that one -<br>and render that nice part useless...<br>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net <a saprocessedanchor="true" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.96<br>Archive: <a saprocessedanchor="true" href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a saprocessedanchor="true" href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br><br><a saprocessedanchor="true" ymailto="mailto:6pack@autox.team.net" href="mailto:6pack@autox.team.net">6pack@autox.team.net</a><br><a saprocessedanchor="true" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a saprocessedanchor="true" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/6pack/tpdwinch@yahoo.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/6pack/tpdwinch@yahoo.com</a><br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
