 Hi,
I've done dozens of TR6 clutches at this point. The "magic clutch" combo of=
 the Sachs PP and a proper clutch disk is a great option. I also have done =
a lot of Borg and Beck setups from Goodparts. Just make sure to match the t=
/o bearing to the type of fingers on the PP. Curved fingers =3D flat face o=
n t/o bearing and flat fingers =3D curved t/o bearing face. I'm, also a fan=
 of the bronze t/o bearing sleeve that TRF sells. There's no pin to stop th=
e rotation so you don't get dents in the sleeve that wind up limiting the a=
mount of clutch action. TRF used to include "bear grease" with the Magic Cl=
utch kit, but I've used regular axle grease - sparingly - and no take backs=
. The Borg and Beck kits come with lube for the splines - that's really imp=
ortant for cars that don't put on a lot of miles because the clutch disk ca=
n rust onto the transmission input splines when the car sits for a long tim=
e.
Take your pick on suppliers, but Goodparts has been great for me. BPNW is g=
reat too. And TRF, of course.
