Today (Friday), I was running my TR6 in the SOVREN Historics @ Pacific
Raceways in Kent WA, when during my qualifying session, I suddenly felt a
vibration and the clutch wasn't operating fully.  Upon removing my
transmission I discovered 3 of the bolts holding the flywheel on were sheered
off and the last one was about half way out.
I'm looking for a fix I can do tomorrow(Saturday) and get me back on the
track.  Anybody have any suggestions?  I've heard of extra pins in the
crankshaft end and putting loctite around the crankshaft  snout to flywheel
connect as well as the bolts.  The extra pins in the crank won't be possible
until I take the motor apart.  Any particular bolts work better? Lock washers?
Any ideas?
Charly
