Alan,
Two things. In my TR7 days, a bad clutch slave-cylinder would cause what
you're describing. Does the TR6 have a clutch slave?
Also, when I worked at a garage during highschool, we stopped having
flywheels 'turned', as making it thinner would mean the clutch would start
to slip sooner. We just the flywheel up with sandpaper, and didn't worry if
it wasn't smooth.
Hope any of this helps,
Dave

Subject: Fw: TR6 Clutch Problem
First I would like to thank those that helped me
resolve my problem with the brakes pulling to the
left. Changed the rubber hoses and all was well.
Next problem! I have just put in a new clutch,
pressure plate and throwout bearing. Even went as
far as having the flywheel re-surfaced. When you
start to bring the clutch pedal up off the floor
the clutch would engage right there, probably less
than inch. I remember the old one having more
travel to it before engaging. I have since added
all new hydraulics and lines for the clutch.
Didn't change where it engaged just seems a little
smoother.
I guess the question then would be, is there
anything that I can do to get the clutch to engage
further away from the floor?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks
in advance.
