[6pack] Clutch slave pushrod

[Vsnively at aol.com]

Dick,
 
I've got under 20K on a new clutch. I was having difficulty getting into  
reverse, and it was scratching in the lower gears. I moved the pushrod to the 
 upper hole on the actuation arm, problem solved, so my self-adjuster 
obviously  isn't working, despite the fact it's new. The spring in the old one 
and the new  one seem very weak. 
 
Thanks,
Vic

Vic---I  don't know what the SC differences are between the four and the 
six, but the  Triumph factory must have felt the self adjusting later design 
was  better.  The later SC, with its internal spring, keeps all of the play  
out of the linkage between the SC pushrod up to the clutch fingers. 
Apparantly  the TR4 needed to have this rod adjusted when play developed in the 
clutch  mechanism. No such adjustment is needed with the six.  However, if there 
 is play in the linkage down in the pedal box, it must be corrected to get 
the  full stroke of the clutch pedal. (The adjustable pushrod will not get 
back  this lost motion).

The question might be: Would the later SC be a  better choice for the 
TR3/4? (I don't know the bore size, bolt flange  dimension, etc.)
