michael pridham Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 HiFolks, As anybody fitted the moss adj slave cyl rod to give you more adj for your clutch, my slave cyl at present is connected to the top hole on the fork and I think it should go into the centre hole, the clutch is new and fitted about 500 miles ago, the pedal is ok but looking for a slightly better pedal with more travel. Thanks Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Mine's in the centre hole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Hello Michael, mine is also centered. Normally an adjusting rod is not required! How much travel do you have? Please be careful, too much travel is not good either ! You can overpress the clutch which decreases its lifespan. The key to sufficient travel is: a. Steelflexhoses b. proper bleed After normal bleeding, you can do this: keep the slave closed ! Push the slave in till the end, fluid will rise in master. Press pedal, slave moves forward, be carefull that the slave does not fall out. Repeat this few times (10). Air will gently crawl itself up thru the hoses.... c. good bushings to elimate play. The pushrod is a much softer material as the fork. Worn out holes are very common. Jochem Edited April 23, 2018 by JochemsTR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brian -r Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi Michael. Steve had Richards and Mine in at the same time and we compared clutch mechanisms . Both are in the centre slot but my slave is packed off the bracket , the moss item is just the type of thing we were considering. Mines also a new clutch , I wonder if there is a product issue here.?. Will be at woodcocks Thursday hope to see you then Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi Michael, make sure you are not losing travel through worn/oval pivot holes. Make sure the slave cylinder is fitted correctly on the bell housing bracket. The slave Cy should be in the middle hole of the arm. Adjust the rod to give a very slight gap (1/16") Fitting to the top hole gives more travel but increase the foot pressure/discomfort. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Clutch master cylinders came in two sizes . If you are not getting enough throw you might have the smaller size fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 The TR6 clutch is self adjusting. The adjustable ones only really have a role if you are using one of the clutch release bearing kits that uses a spring to pull the arm back so that the release bearing isn't in contact with the fingers of the clutch cover. The master cylinders come in 2 bore sizes 0.7" and 0.75" and in reality there is little difference in travel or pedal pressure in real use. The key difference is if you try and fit the seals the wrong size rebuild kit. I remember doing just that 25 years ago - the kit didn't specify which it was and I was blissfully unaware of this and wasted a deal of time before realising there were 2 sizes of master cylinders.

Steves_TR6 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 My clutch , 1990s...., has always needed all of the pedal travel especially into 3rd. Lately i think it may be a little worse so i’m thinking of invetigating, suspect pedal/pushrod holes are worn. I will rebleed, am in silicon which of course wont help.

Z320 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Hi Michael, this seems to be a TR6-problem, I never hearded that from a TR2-4A, I would do this: - pull the pin out of the clivis and see if you can push the pistion with the push rod in the slave cylinder - and how deep - let your wife step the clutch and see if the movement of the piston "out" in the slave cylinder is limited by the savety spring of the cylinder If all fits together correctly, it should work without a adjustable push rod, but it the piston is too much "out" of the slave cylinder something is wrong. So a longer push rod with "special lenght" (if you want: adjustable) could help, which I made for some TR6 fellows the last years. Very easy to make, see attached photo.
