Ken and others:

I just recently replaced entire clutch assembly in my 72 TR6.
Replacement included the clutch kit, release bearing, fork, shaft, etc.
I purchased all from TRF - mine was the Borg & Beck kit, and I can not
really say there is any difference (i.e. pedal pressure, smoothness). 
It may be that the other kit they offer (Laycock) does make a
difference.  I went with Borg & Beck due to past successes with their
product.
