It's your pressure plate but you probably won't see the problem. It distorts 
when it's hot. Yes..replace everything. Always.\

Subject: [6pack] Re Transmission or clutch issues 

Thanks guys for all the input. It appears as though I will need to take 
out the transmission and look at the clutch to see what part failed or 
is failing. I would guess the consensus would be to replace the whole 
thing while I have it out, right? I replaced the clutch probably only 
18 years ago, but only put on about 25,000 miles. But I did let it sit 
a couple of years and the plate was stuck and I had to break it loose. 
Now it is my daily driver so it is getting lots of use. 

Thanks all, 

Dale

Subject: [6pack] 74 TR6 

a friend has a 74 TR6, which he bought new. parked it about 1987 in a barn, and 
we are now in the process of resurrecting it. it is in reasonable shape; it was 
an Illinois car and there is some surface rust on the body, but nothing 
horrendous (now it is safely here in Texas). the interior is also in reasonable 
condition. of course, if this car were on ebay there would be ?no rust? and the 
interior would be ?excellent.? 

so far, so good ? the engine turns over nicely by hand! yes, we are taking it 
slow; we want to preserve this car; it has about 70k miles on it and is pretty 
original. 

we have run into an interesting snag ? the trunk won?t open. by looking at my 
72, it appears the trunk is unlocked ? the larger part of the opening for the 
key lock is on the bottom. we can?t turn the lock with the key, and can?t push 
it in. lightly tapping with a mallet does nothing. pushing up or down on the 
trunk lid does nothing. 

any thoughts/comments/direction? 

just for the story ? he has recently retired here in Texas to be with the kids 
and grandkids, and noticed me driving my TR6 around. he actually lives across 
the alley and over one from me!

On my 74, purchased new in Illinois, when the large part of the opening for 
the key lock is pointing down, my trunk is locked.

On a 71 the trunk is locked with key teeth pointing down. 
The button will move maybe 1/16th or so even with trunk locked. 
Try soaking around that button with your favorite rust buster spray???
