Inside the bell housing, the clutch throw fork is secured to the pivot
shaft by a wimpy, inadequate taper pin. This slowly distorts and makes
clutch action marginal. This is a common problem in TR6s and is the only
thing I know of that would account for the unusual angle of the external
arm. Mine was welded up by a DPO, and I had a parts car with the same
problem (that's why it was given to me)
Also check your crankshaft end float - I had a TR6 with a clutch that
wouldn't fully release going uphill because the crank would slip backward
by a few hundredths!
