[TR] Clutch advice

[Steinman, Bill]

Howdy all:

I've got an issue with the clutch on my TR250, and would love advice from the
collective.  I've got a relatively new clutch in the car (about 1000 miles).
Installation of the clutch was the last piece of work I paid others to do, now
that my garage is built and ready to handle any type of work.

In any event, about 100 miles or so ago, I started getting the dreaded sound
of squeeling on my pressure plate, which would go away so long as I kept a
slight bit of pressure on the clutch.  I tried the easiest solution first -- I
replaced the slave cylinder, just in case the spring was worn out.  That seems
to have helped somewhat, but it has not solved the problem.

I would appreciate suggestions -- short of pulling the tranny and putting in a
TRF magic clutch set-up.  I've seen suggestions for an extra spring along side
the slave cylinder.  I'd love to know whether this really helps.  Also, any
other words of wisdom would be most welcome.

Thanks!

B.
