I installed the engine in my TR-6 this last weekend. I was rigging the
clutch slave cylinder and was testing the clutch action for the first time
when I realized that the clutch didn't seem to be engaging. I pulled the
started and had a look with a mirror and verified that the fork is sliding
the sleeve with the throw out bearing, and that the bearing is sliding up
the springs on the pressure plate, but I can't put enough force on the lever
to compress the springs. What have I done wrong? The clutch was sourced
locally and came in an AP brand box, although it was stamped Borg&Beck. The
pressure plate however wasn't the same as the one that I had previously
which was also a Borg&Beck. Any suggestions? I am hoping to get out of
this without having to pull the motor again.
Anxiously awaiting salvation from my own probable stupidity,
