<< Hi all,
Just completely restored the clutch mechanics in my '71 TR6 and have a quick
question.
With the clutch arm un-attached to the slave cylinder there is a good bit of
travel of the bearing assembly moving on the transmission shaft. Is this
normal?
Also, is it normal (when the clutch arm is attached to the slave cylinder)
for there to be no travel (indicating the release bearing is contacting the
pressure plate springs)???
Any expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
I'm no expert here, but as far as the cross shaft goes, there shouldn't be any
slop between the shaft and bushings. When I rebuilt my clutch recently, I
replaced the cross shaft bushings with two on each side giving better load
distribution since only one tends to wear sooner than it should.
As far as moving the lever on the end of the cross shaft goes, you should be
able to rotate it back and forth causing the carrier sleeve to slide back and
forth on the shaft.
But then again, I may not fully understand your question.
