Clutch can't have gone after 4000 miles!!!!
Discussion
Just for those not seen earlier post;
Thank you trackcar & CT for a luvelly set of parts
Replaced all my Sagaris clutch bits;
Hope this info helps all
TVR Original Slave in the bellhousing leaked at 2k miles, stopped leaking at 4k miles.
First & reverse always akward from 0 miles
Getting difficult when cold at 3k miles to double clutching at 5k miles
1 ,2 ,3 nearly impossible to get.
Thrust bearing noisy when pedal part depressed
Got the lot out and found:-
Clutch friction plate- not worn. (and usally isn't apparently)
Original TVR slave leaking and thrust bearing noisy and without lubrication.
Original spring fingers intact but worn on ends on thrust bearing contact points; reduced spring load found with CT raceproved test equipment.
Original Clutch fork/yolke worn in base
Thrust faces- few hot spots but OK
THE CT RACEPROVED REPLACEMENTS
New CT Raceproved Clutch Assembly ;Spring properly heat treated with larger contact area and induction hardened to stop wear
Raceproved CT Clutch Assembly
Raceproved lightweight aluminium CT slave with PTFE coated sliding surfaces
RESULT:
Silky smooth changes including 1st, & reverse.
No slave leaks and don't expect any.
Drives like a different car; no missed gears now
5 Hours labour

Do you polish under your car, or does it ever get taken out in the rain?
