TRF Summer Party ran 8/16 thru 8/18 and had a rally, autocross and otherevents out in the Western PA alps. I also stocked up on parts and read all the cool TR stuff going back 60 years. Folks camped out in the field which didn't look like fun with the constant rain. When I had my TR3 I was in my teens andearly 20's. I didn't know about car clubs which would have made things much more interesting.             Joe Mato

Bill,

I think the same company made the brake fluif that was mentioned years ago ?  It is totally Lucas reliable.

I believe Dave Templeton just referred to ?Starting Fluif? in a post last month.  So how many times does a new word have to be used before Webster will recognize it as a real word?

Subject: [TR] Proper English for a Proper Car

    I drove my TR3 to work the other morning. When I left my home at o'dark thirty it was in the mid-50's and I wore a leather coat. I live at about the mile high elevation in the southern Sierras. When I left my work in Mojave that afternoon, it was 109 degrees. The car interior felt hotter and hotter inside as I drove and I was looking forward to getting up the hill to cooler temperatures.  Soon thereafter I ran across a new proper English word - "Calescent" which means "growing warm; increasing in heat". I also enjoy using the word "Recalcitrant" to describe the TR's too-fast-a-shift from 1st to 2nd, "recalcitrant" meaning "resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant". A synonym could be "balk".
    Another word that has come in handy many times, especially at parties, is "calipygous". I use it in conversation whenever possible. Usually, ladies say "thank-you" for the compliment and then go home and look it up.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/callipygous<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dictionary.com_browse_callipygous&d=DwMFaQ&c=ZgVRmm3mf2P1-XDAyDsu4A&r=346MKQty4J9yevdUa9Fj_cT53y_74TwSRM-I7J2SFzs&m=o7xCSt_dykMMGIM_1IFYxs9hu5R-Hs6tb02w_fq0Mn4&s=KEEo4VljU1L7G4zj63d8lVTmJ99Y7KCRQfVgCcu5W3o&e=>

    A word I haven't seen used on the Triumphs list recently would be "Fluif". I can't remember who used that misspelling two decades ago, but it has still stuck in my vocabulary. Who was that? Are you still on the list?  I think that his name was Joe-something.

    Have a good Friday. Triumph over conformity.

Like Randall - I had early failures on new Lucas Sport coils.  Now I use a
50-year-old Lucas Sport coil with a similar one for my on board spare.

Those old ones seem to be very long-lived (and look good too).

Are they all brass?  If so, I would replace all of them with original type
tall steel nuts (TRF 56675); along with new split lock washers and a
generous dab of anti-seize on the threads.  (I like the copper-based
variety.)

While it's apart, take time to chase the threads on the studs and inspect
for damage.  If your thread chaser binds or starts peeling metal from one
side of the threads, replace that stud.

I also have found that it helps to add a heavy flat washer (aka setup
washer) on the outermost studs (the ones that don't have bridge pieces),
between the lock washer and manifold.

Recheck nuts for tightness after first heat cycle, again at 500 miles, and
at normal tune-up intervals.  Eventually they will settle down, but keep
checking until they are always tight.

Message-ID: <001001d437be$6c127590$443760b0$@fuse.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"



Good morning everyone (Pardon my rambling here),

I was having some shifting difficulties in my TR4A recently going from 1st
to 2nd and from 3rd to 4th.  After thinking the worst possible outcome
(removing the transmission again) I was relieved to determine the problem
was that the two adjusting screws on the left and right sides of the shift
lever were not set up correctly. My reason for thinking this is that after
removing the top cover, and holding it in my bench vise, the shifting
problem was still there. As I started to slowly back out the two screws, I
was at one point, able to smoothly shift from 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th. 

Looking on the internet for suggestions on adjusting those two screws, I
read through the Buckeye Triumph technical write up on transmission overhaul
but there wasn't much detail on this procedure. I am looking for some "been
there, done that" suggestions on adjusting those two screws. Also, should I
Loc-Tite the screws once I get them adjusted?

I am also going to replace the 3 0-rings around the shift rods while I have
the top cover off and I noticed there was oil weeping out from around the
rods (Moss vs. TRF?).  Wish me luck removing the tapered bolts on the shift
forks!!

Thanks,

Dave Connitt

The book (TR6 workshop manual) says to put the shift lever in each gate,
tighten the pin on that side until it just starts to move the lever, then
back off a half turn and tighten the locknut.  Seemed to work fine on my
Stags (which have a similar lever).
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2H2NJt34OffZTJaeXJhWllGWnc

Sounds like you might need to add the locknuts, or snug them up a bit
tighter.  Not sure I'd want to use Loctite with only those screw slots to
take them loose.

AFAIK, all vendors sell ordinary O-rings for the shift rails, which don't
fit very well as the cavities are deeper than the rings.  Herman van den
Akker told me (long ago) that he machined brass washers to fill the space.
But I found some "O-ring Backup Rings" at MMC that fill the space nicely and
make the standard O-rings seal very well.  I bought the Teflon version, but
I assume the Buna-N ones would work just as well.  Sorry I don't recall the
size offhand, but I'm sure you can work it out.
https://www.mcmaster.com/#o-rings/=1e82oxx
(about 2/3 down)

I had to buy a bag of 50; I'd be happy to share except I won't be back there
for a couple months yet (and I'm not absolutely sure where that bag is).

On the taper pins, it seemed to help to get an 8-point socket to fit, then
use a T-handle wrench with both hands so there's no side force on the pin.
But I still broke several, and had to salvage them from another gearbox (an
earlier one without those stupid nylon inserts in the pins).

I gotta admit I don't like wearing rubber gloves to work?on cars. ?I just use a good hand cleaner and wash up well. ?

I do have some mechanic's gloves that are not disposable, but a thin fabric, and I use them when something is hot.

When washing up I use Zep Heavy Duty Degreaser and/or GoJo Hand Cleaner.

 Mainly after lamenting how long it takes to get clean around the fingernails I started wearing disposable latex.Since solvents often dissolve them I added nitrile to the mix.When I get a tear, I usually just add another glove over the top.When you get to 4 or 5 you start to lose a little feel! For heavy duty jobs I used the mechanix gloves but then sears, HF and others produced more budget minded options.I have a drawer full of various options. As far as source, Sams club used to be my go to for both latex & nitrile.A few weeks ago Walmart had both types on sale.I also like the black HF gloves, especially the thicker ones. I haven't had to scrub the nails in a long time but in the nuclear hot Georgia summers, I have occasionallyhad to pour the sweat out of the gloves!  The fingers come out shriveled some times from immersion!

 Hmmm...for years I've been buying cartons (100 ct) of Diamond Grip Microflex examination gloves for use during doing dirt jobs (say that really really fast?).  ...Changing oil and the like.  They aren't particularly durable, but then I haven't experimented much to see if any such disposable gloves are.  Does anyone have a preference or recommendation for what they like?

Randall,

I'd be interested in learning how you extracted the broke taper pins from the shifting forks.

look for a product called? 'liquid glove'

It's a hand cream as such that dries. Lather it on, bury it under your 
finger nails, go up your forearms a bit, dries in about 1/2 minute while 
you keep rubbing it around.

...give your hands a kind of rubber pencil eraser grip, even when your 
hands are greasy

Fantastic at clean up super easy to wash off with soap and water. Often 
grease even wipes off with a paper towel

doesn't irritate your skin either (at least no one I know yet)

ymmv
