Back in the dim past, TR2', 3's and maybe some 4's (can't remember on
the 4's) had an adjustable arm from the slave cyl to the clutch release
arm with a return spring. The rod was similar to the 6's except the rod
was threaded into the clevis and could be adjusted for clearance between
the T.O. bearing and the pressure plate. Spring shoved the piston into
the slave cyl and the rod adjustment allowed sufficient throw to
facilitate proper clutch release. Often wondered why they converted to
the system used by the 6. Old system seemed to work fine....or maybe I
was just a kid and didn't know any better. Bill

Bill---I can only assume that Triumph wanted owners to do one less chore
with their cars. Not having to "adjust the clutch" (like adjust the
brakes) would fall into this category. Both of these items seem to work
fine, when the parts are up to it!
