[TR] B & B clutch and Gunst T. O. Bearing in a TR6?

[Cosmo Kramer]

Hi Dennis!
OK, I've read on & now I'm seeing that the thread has mentioned the
Toyota 5 spd tranny, which wasn't mentioned before.
 
Now all the info. that I
was giving & asking about was in reference to the TRIUMPH Gearbox. (Weather it
being an OD {A-type vs a J-type} or not.)
 
If the gearbox is a Toyota 5spd
from Herman, then you know that you MUST use the DPP & NOT the B&BPP, because
it's stated in the directions.
 
I have all 3 trannys (TR OD & standard, plus
the Toyota 5 spd) in the Garage Queen (GQ- TR4A) at one time or another.
 
BTW- The reason the FW's are different for the B&BPP vs the DPP is because of
the the location of the mounting holes for each of the PP.

TR4/A has the same set up as theTR6 (Diaphragm Pressure Plate (DPP) & the
Gunst TOB). I too have the Flywheel (FW), B&B PP, LUK TOB set-up & have taken
them out of a TR4. So I know that the B&BPP has to take a different FW from
the DPPP, & both types of PP will take the same Clutch Disk.

sure about using the Gunst TOB with the B&BPP. I do know that it will work
with the DPP.
