[Fot] TR6 Race Clutch Release Bearing - Annular or Standard Slave Cylinder?

[yellow04]

FWIW, Bob and I run similar lap times with our 6 cylinder TR's, 
typically a tad faster than the TR4's, and I too run a stock TR6 
pressure plate. My setup is the widely available steel flywheel and a 
regular AP pressure plate that costs just over 100 bucks from Moss. My 
driven plate is a full metallic paddle disc with no springs. I get 
seasons of use out of a driven plate, and I will swap out the pressure 
plate periodically as they do not last forever. I ran the same with the 
TR4.

I just don't see the need for a racing clutch in vintage, we are making 
sensible power that the stock stuff can handle just fine. And to stay on 
topic, the stock clutch release setup works brilliantly with a stock 
pressure plate!

Maybe if I owned a Tilton setup I would see the light, there certainly 
are benefits to having the mass of your clutch and flywheel closer to 
the rotational center of the engine, but the "KISS" principle works for 
me!
