Richardtr3a Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Does any know if there is a lubrication chart available on the internet which I could print off before Friday night. The car will be on the ramp on Saturday and I have asked the MOT man to use his grease gun. I seem to remember that there are 36 grease points but I would really like a bit of paper to show him. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hicks51 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi Richard, How about giving him your workshop manual for the day or photocopying the lubrication chart? Regards, Brian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodri Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 If you look on the homepage of this site you will see downloads on the menu on the left. The last download is a, slightly confusing, service sheet for TRs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I have to find my manual. Since we moved house there are a number of boxes still in store which contain all sorts of hidden treasures. Thanks anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a look at my site in the mecanical subject : http://www.trregisterfrance.com/meca/entretien.htm and for the pan click http://www.trregisterfrance.com/meca/entretien_schema.htm you will find all necessary information (milage, oil type, ... and the greasing chart) ... you might have to practice a little bit your french .... but french is not necessary for the greasing chart, it's self explanatory. Have fun GG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Elliott Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The following is from memory and I'm not lying on my back under my TR3A. There are 6 on each side up front plus the bottom of the idler arm. That makes 13 here. There are 2 at the front and one at the rear of the driveshaft, 1 (or is it 2 ?) on the end of the clutch input cross-shaft. There is one on the handbrake cable half way back and 1 where the rear cross cables pivot. There are some for the ends of the rear axle and 1 on most water pumps. I think that makes it 22 up to here. Don't put too much grease in the front end of the driveshaft because the excess will only spin out and splash all inside the gearbox tunnel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same applies to water pump one, dont put too much in those or it will be all round the front of the engine compartment. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Remember that US gallons are smaller than Imperial gallons, so don't over-fill when undertaking oil changes. I believe that the US foot is the same as an Imperial foot, and that they have 12 inches to a foot, but I have never checked! Some years ago, having received permission from Castrol,. I supplied the Office with copies of both the TR2/3 and the TR4/4A Castrol lubrication charts, and copies of the TR4/4A version were on sale in 2011 when we held the TR4@50 celebration at the IWE.

james christie Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I have an original one obtained back in the day from a Triumph garage - in Lancaster, I think. Grubby and well covered in greasy finger prints, Ihave plastified it and it hangs in my garage. james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 You mucky so and so, James. Mine is still as good as the day that Castrol sent it to me some 50 years ago! And mine was used as the Master for the copies sold at TR4@50 because Castrol could not find an original! Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Cornish I'm Canajun. British born which explains my aberrant automobile behaviour. We deal with both Imperial and Metric due to our proximity to our big brother next door who is a terrific neighbour. And a long time ago on a planet far away I had my Private Pilot licence so 6.6lbs per US gallon is ingrained in my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
