TR6 TR6 Clutch Problem

Share this page

Still, the HVDA hydrolic throw-out bearing probably does not fix itself after a little rest. If the bearing failed, it would still be failing. ...And removing the transmission to fix a pin or to replace a bearing is just as much a pain.

I'm interested to know what you find. I have the HVDA with hydrolic throw-out in my TR3 and I've never had a problem with it. I have never driven it either.

I suggest you call Herman. He is slow to answer email, but great on the phone. Very helpful. Keep us informaed.
 
To keep you updated, I did actually email Herman sunday night and he called me first thing the next morning. He is very confident that, based on my symptoms, it is not the throw out bearing. He said that he had the same issue with his TR250 and a rebuild of the master cylinder did the trick. All the same, he offered to send me whatever new parts I need for free if it is indeed something to do with the kit, which was very kind considering this is probably a 6 year old part. Great service!

My new MC is slated for delivery this week and I'll hopefully have it in the car soon. I am leaving for vacation this week, so I'm sure you'll all be on the edge of your seats awaiting the result. Of course, the clutch is working fine right now, so its going to be a tentative diagnosis at best.

Thanks again for your help and welcome to the forum.

Just to give everyone a (hopefully) final update on this thread, I have had the new master cylinder installed and had a trouble free drive this weekend. As previously noted, the clutch had returned to normal function after its initial failure, so only time will tell if this fixed it once and for all. So far so good!
