jas Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Any views on which clutch to fit? The gearbox has to come out to fix a sticking clutch so am going to replace the clutch while it is out. Knowing very little about these matters any opinions on which one is best or which supplier would be appreciated, Regards Jas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike3739 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi Jas You could try TRGB Gary or Chris might point you in the right direction as to what they fit on cars coming in the workshop. Cheers Mike P.S. Let us know what you decide to fit & from whom! It may help others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkmick Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi Jas I fitted a borg & beck clutch last year the release bearing became noisy after 500 or so miles, would reccomend fitting uprated bearing costs extra but less hassle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Hi jas, Try and find a genuine 'Laycock' clutch cover ~ they're the best! Give John Sykes of TR Bitz a call, he supplied me with one for my TR3A (and I was lucky enough to get a spare when Moss had a clearout). Tom.

D1070 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 the hydraulic clutch,as supplied by Racetorations,(no professional connection), has proved its worth over 20k miles in my 5. Clutch action is light and smooth and does away with the troublesome cross shaft,which is a known weekness on our cars, cheers, Laurence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jas Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Many thanks for the help gents!, I see a few phone calls will have to be made, Regards Jas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi Lawrence, the concentric slave cylinder is technically a good idea but should you have a leak you are seriously doomed. There are also probems in selecting the correct cylinder for your pressure plate as there are a different shaped faces for the bearing. The only problem with the original cross shaft/external slave cylinder is the intergrity of the taper pin and there are numerous ways to resolve this. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D1070 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Points taken Roger, i may have been unlucky with 6s i owned in the past, but always seemed to have problems with the clutch and associated cross shaft mechanism. Thus far,20k miles +, hydraulic clutch has performed well.., cheers, Laurence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
