Hi,
Now that I am faced with the chore of replacing the throwout bearing and while
I'm at it, the clutch in my TR6, I have a few new questions.
First: Does the transmission (with O.D.) need to come off from the top, or
has someone discovered a different way?
Second: Are there any good tech writeups on this procedure that will help
make this project a little more like "a walk through the park" for a first
timer? No I've never had the pleasure of doing a clutch job....
Third: I noticed The Roadster Factory has a clutch kit that they sell for
just under $300 that is supposed have better longevity. Is this worth the
price, or should I opt for a Borg Warner, or send it to the local clutch
rebuild shop? Any testimonials out there?
Fourth: Does anyone have any do's and don'ts that they can supply me with
before I put everything back together and find out that I should have done
things differently? I only want to do this one time you know......
Fifth: Is it possible that the screeching noise created when I press the
clutch in is something other than the throwout bearing and maybe I don't
really have to deal with all of this?? I test drove this car before I bought
it and everything was fine, then I trailer it home, take it for its first
drive, and all of a sudden I have this problem.
