I have the TR4A tranny I'm going to use on my TR2 at work, and have been tinkering on it when I have the odd few minutes here and there. So far, I've opened it all up, inspected the internals, made a list of parts (thankfully just gaskets and seals) and cleaned it all up.
Today I decided to take the clutch rod and fork out to inspect all that stuff. Guess what I found? The classic TR clutch problem. The head of the fork pin came out, leaving the rest of the long-ago broken pin jammed up in the rod, and keeping the fork loosly stuck on the rod. Biggest thing is, you can't get a straight shot on the hole where the pin is.
Tomorrow I'm gonna inspect the rod closely for wear. If it needs replacement, it's gonna get hacked off! if not, I'm thinking of drilling a small hole in the fork from the top, and seeing if I can tap the pin out that way. Or drilling a hole in the bottom of the bell housing so I can get at the pin that way (But I think I'd rather replace the rod first).
I'll definatly be adding an extra bolt or pin on re-assembly Like Roger Williams suggests in his book.
Just thought I'd share the fun. hehehehe
