[TR] Tranny install

[Greg Lemon]

David,
Yoke for the release bearing is held by a pin the shears sometimes, you
would probably have complete failure at that point, but could maybe have a
shard hanging on and making it move with some play?  Also usually three
holes for where the slave hooks with the clevis pin to the extension of the
release bearing shaft, so some mechanical adjustment possible there.

Good luck, as I recall there are also two size bores for the clutch master
or slave (can't remember which) .70" and .75" they should both work, but an
appreciable difference in feel.
