I installed a J-type overdrive and fixed my broken pin at the same time last
year. I used the Gunst and a Sach and it is beautiful! I am not a race
driver so I wanted a nice smooth lite clutch. I have had several folks in my
club drive the combination in my car and all are amazed at how smooth it is
for a TR6. If you want stiff, race like go Borg, if you want lite and smooth
try the Sach. I haven't had any disengaging problems. Clutch starts to grab
about 4 inchs off the floor.

Thanks Jay, and to all who replied. I must have the narrow groove
because its in and its disengaging nicely. Haven't run it yet, but it
seems good. Just for anybody considering clutch alternatives, the Sachs
clutch doesnt seem to work with Gunst bearing(just doesnt disengage)
With the Borg and Beck unit, it works great. Apparently you must use
the Koyo TO bearing for the Sachs unit to work. Thanks again, John
