 The TR-4A clutch and pressure plate (diaphragm style) will work, but you h=
ave to redrill the flywheel for the TR-4A bolts and dowel pins (get a well =
qualified machine shop to do this).=C2=A0 If you have the early TR-3 (I thi=
nk up to VIN 50,000) it used a different style starter motor.=C2=A0 The ear=
ly cars had a long starter which engages the flywheel from the front.=C2=A0=
 After 50,000 they switched to a shorter started which engages from the rea=
r of the flywheel.=C2=A0 All later TR-3's, TR-4's and TR-4A's used this sam=
e starter.=C2=A0 So, if you switch flywheels, make sure you have the right =
starter.=C2=A0 The bell housing also changed at TR-3 50,000 to accommodate =
the later starter.=20

If your TR-3 is after VIN number 50,000 you can bolt on a TR-4A flywheel, w=
hich will accommodate the TR-4A diaphragm style clutch, with no further cha=
nges.=C2=A0 Good luck.

Jack shares some important info to be aware of.
If you are in there this far and would like to upgrade the pressure plate t=
o a diaphragm style, go all the way and include the flywheel as part of the=
 upgrade.  Get a light flywheel that will be ready to accept the pressure p=
late.  A TR4A-TR6 pressure plate should match the new light flywheel.  If y=
ou have a (4) full syncro gear box already, the factory starter should work=
 fine.  But, you might also consider upgrading the starter to a more compac=
t, modern hi-torque unit.  I have enjoyed these improvements on my TR3.  I =
have a close gear set that uses the finer (21?) spline input shaft, so my c=
lutch disc is a TR7 or MGB unit, but the pressure plate is TR4A-TR6.  The t=
hrow-out bearing with also have to match the pressure plate.  So change the=
 bearing to match the pressure plate as well.=20
The early TR2-3 gearbox had a short nose starter and the bell housing casti=
ng was also short or shallow to go with this starter.  On the later style, =
the bell housing accommodated the long nose starter with a deeper casting. =
 Also, the early trans cover will NOT fit over the later, deeper bell housi=
ng design.  The cover would need to be modified to fit the later gear box h=
ousing...or, be replaced by a later TR3 trans cover.  If you happen to need=
 the later cover, I happen to have a few in my TR stash.  I learned this th=
e hard way...after beautifully refinishing my cover, I had to hammer it out=
 to make it fit over the deeper bell housing casting. =20

you have to redrill the flywheel for the TR-4A bolts and dowel pins (get a =
well qualified machine shop to do this).  If you have the early TR-3 (I thi=
nk up to VIN 50,000) it used a different style starter motor.  The early ca=
rs had a long starter which engages the flywheel from the front.  After 50,=
000 they switched to a shorter started which engages from the rear of the f=
lywheel.  All later TR-3's, TR-4's and TR-4A's used this same starter.  So,=
 if you switch flywheels, make sure you have the right starter.  The bell h=
ousing also changed at TR-3 50,000 to accommodate the later starter.

Dear  Dave,

get a Bastuck flywheel for a Tilton clutch.

That is the lightest you can get.

The clutch weights at 2 pounds, and the Flywheel about 5 pounds.

Your crank will say thank you.

Cheers

Chris

Instead of the Borg style does anyone make a Diaphragm style for the TR3?
I'm using an OD gearbox.
