Message-ID: <7AA279FA-D77A-448F-9E2B-E8C7897EE029@gmail.com> This may be of help. In the final throes of rebuilding the engine, the clutch plate had cracks where the spokes met the outer ring. As the car has the Toyota Supra 5 speed from many years back, trying to match wasn?t happening. My local shop had a source of Kentucky Clutch in Brooks, KY (kyclutch.com ). They rebuild or build new clutches for cars, trucks, race cars. I know that have provided throw out bearings also. They might be a good source. I sent the broken clutch plate to them and a week later a new clutch plate arrived - the quality was far superior to the plate they replaced and the cost was $135.00. Who knows, maybe they will have a solution or at least some good suggestions. > On Aug 8, 2025, at 11:33?AM, Sujit Roy wrote: > > Replying to all. I have a Borg and Beck clutch in my Stag.

I am wondering about replacing the damper oil with a lighter weight. Referring to Barney Gaylord?s page https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/suspensn/fs110.htm the standard weight oil is about 20W or ISO 68 (Peter Caldwell World Wide Imports). Hydraulic jack oil ISO 32 is 10W and fully compatible. I will call World Wide tomorrow for clarification.

That?s a bit of a job and can open a can or worms since spreading the clamps around the leaves can sometimes break. > > Allen > owned since ?67 > ** triumphs at autox.team.net ** > > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html > Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs http://www.team.net/archive > > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ryel at mac.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
