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.)
Dick
