John, A lot of the racers I know with TR3, TR4 and TR6 (mine included) are
using a Tilton rally clutch. They use a 7.25" clutch and disc and aren't
prone to the problems all the others are. The main problem is the stock
style TR6 clutch (which is what are most adapted to) is that the tabs that
connect the cover to the pressure plate are only made to hold the pressure
plate in acceleration mode and if you down shift or rev the engine with the
clutch disengaged, the tabs will distort or break causing the pressure plate
to get off center.
The other advantage is the weight savings of the rally clutch, about half
the weight.
I've used the Saab turbo version of the TR6 pressure plate and several other
"racing" clutches and all have failed, I've been using the Tilton for about
3 years now with no problems. Quartermaster makes a similar clutch and
contrary to belief, the parts are not interchangeable.
