Richardtr3a Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I have some slipping clutch problems. I also have the cylinders being overhauled by Past Parts. Once I have the hydraulics sorted out I will have the gearbox out. In my garage I have been saving this 3 part clutch kit for many years. This may be the time to use it. The number is Borg and Beck 45693/41 size 9 " I have two questions Is this the correct part for my 58 TR3A There is some rust on the surface of the cover plate which contacts the clutch lining. I have sanded it off but there are some very small corrosive marks. If this makes a difference to the long term life of the clutch lining shall I have it machined down by 10 thou.? Maybe this will cause more problems. If this old stock is not correct please advise on the best kit to buy. Thanks Richard & H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billy l Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 That is an old part number that I remember fitting TR2/3/4, and Land rover. Regarding the rust if not too badly pitted I would emery cloth the face plate and fit it. Regards, Bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks Bill, That is justthe advice I was looking for. I am just waiting for the hydraulics and then we can decide what to do about the slipping. What else should I do while the gearbox is out? Thanks richard & H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billy l Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) When the gearbox is out, replace the cross shaft pin and drill and fit a rolled steel pin for back up. Regards, Bill. Edited July 30, 2016 by billy l Quote Link to post Share on other sites
