In the "clutches" of a TR6


Recommended Posts

Hi chaps,

As I have the gearbox out being rebuilt I thought it was a good idea to check the clutch.

My initial impression is that the cover is knackered at the very least. The covet is a laycock cover and shows significant signs of wear on the fingers from the TO bearing.

So what's the best strategy for replacement.

I see that laycock kits seem to be V expensive. Whereas Borg and beck are cheaper. Also I have read that there are problems with component quality. Particularly the TO bearings.

What are the current thoughts?

Tim

I replaced all the above on two cars one in the last 2 month, got my bits from TRGB...they know their clutch bits, give tem a bell. BTW the first replacement was in for about 10K before I sold the car and was without issue. Again my new clutch plate etc is all operating as it should in the more recent job.

I wouldn't go anywhere other than the TR Shop in Chiswick, what they don't know about TR's can be written on the head of a pin!
