[Fot] Need to figure out why my clutch stopped working...

[sherry robyn]

so I don't put it back together and have the same problem.  

The story is
that I had never been into the clutch.  I only knew that the PO 
raced the 74
TR6.  I autocrosses, and a hillclimb for the next couple of years 
with no
problem.  Then at the tail end of this season at an autocross, I could 
smell
my clutch after a run and it didn't want to go into gear.  Double 
clutching
could get it to go.  There never had been the typical TR6 problems 
such as
stiff clutch pedal, etc.

After breaking it open, I find little wear on the
spring fingers, a disk 
measuring appx. .290 in thickness, and all linkage
even though plenty dirty 
functioning soundly.  The slave and master of the
clutch is not losing fluid, 
and there is an adjustabe clutch rod that was in
the middle hole of the 
engage/disengage lever that is only minimally worn
oversize.

I am putting in a new clutch, but at this point, I can't see what
caused my 
failure in the first place.  Don't want to wrap it all up and have
the same 
problem.

Thanks for any assistance, Jim
