It's clear I'm losing my mind, but that doesn't stop me from doing things under a car. However, a little help is in order tonight...
I'm repositioning the clutch slave cylinder on my '60 TR3A, and I'm unsure about the "correct" order of things; specifically, the sequence of the cylinder mounting bracket and whether the cylinder goes on the bracket from the front of the car or the rear. The bracket on my car was originally mounted on the rear side of the transmission flange, and something tells me that's not right, so it's been moved to the front side of the bellhousing flange.
Now for the mind-losing part. When setting the .01" play in the rod (page 116 in Haynes), should the return spring be mounted to draw the rod fully into the cylinder? Or should the adjustment be made without the spring mounted so that the piston in the slave cylinder is pushed outward by the internal spring toward the clutch?
For the record, I have the model of clutch slave cylinder that Haynes identifies as being for the TR4, 4A.
Guidance on these points would be greatly appreciated.
