[6pack] clutch slave internal spring

[Dale]

Lee
Though my TR6 is a little modified, not using a V8, I did read once in someones build that they used the TR6 slave for their V8 conversion. What they did was remove the spring and take a .025 inch off the tab that holds the spring in place on the back side of the piston within the slave cylinder. This gave them a little more throw from the slave cylinder piston has the rod force the piston to the back of the cylinder.
After reading that, I tried it with my TR6 slave cylinder when it was time for a rebuild. It has worked great without a spring for a couple years now. Some times you after wonder why the spring was added in the first place as the hydraulic fluid would force the piston out. Why the need for a spring unless it was to keep some pressure on the throw out bearing. If that was the case then you should have heard the throw out bearing making noise with a spring in three pieces.
The use of the German throw out bearing requires you have a spring to pull the bearing arm back. Tension in the reverse direction.
It all comes back to the point of" what works for your situation"

The clutch master on my (running) 6 gave up the ghost; it was pretty rough so
I ordered a new one. I had a slave rebuild kit on hand and the slave looked
good (and honed to a nice finish inside) so I didn't plan to replace that end.
HOWEVER - that internal spring in the slave came out in 3 pieces, and the
rebuild kit does not include the spring. So... just order a new one, right?
TRF and Moss list "N/A" for the spring, and Vicky Brit shows one in the
catalog - at a price of $14.95! Wow, must be made of unobtainium. At that
price (and since I don't really trust VB) I might as well order a new complete
slave cylinder. Is that my only real option here?

P.S. Oh, I found a box containing the complete slave from my non-running 6 -
and it's in great shape and has the spring in it. I may just use that one -
and render that nice part useless...
