[Fot] TR6 Clutch

[Robert Lang]

 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 = flat face on t/o bearing and flat fingers = 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 the rotation so you don't get dents in the sleeve that wind up limiting the amount of clutch action. TRF used to include "bear grease" with the Magic Clutch 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 important for cars that don't put on a lot of miles because the clutch disk can rust onto the transmission input splines when the car sits for a long time.
Take your pick on suppliers, but Goodparts has been great for me. BPNW is great too. And TRF, of course.

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,
