My clutch came with no instructions, typical in the Internet age. But it all seems so simple and basic. New throw out bearing, centering tool, and torque the clutch housing sequentially around the perimeter. Are there any helpful pointers or warnings here?
The aligned clutch drive plate is marked for direction, and it is held in place initially by the force of the pressure plate, and thereafter both by the pressure plate and by the splined transmission spigot shaft. Not seeing any other magical issue.
My bearing sleeve looks fine, but not sure what I'd look for other than obvious distortion or wear.
Thanks for any help.
PS My first TR back in the early 70s had a surprise for me when I removed the transmission. Two big holes in the bell housing. When I called the PO, a kid like me back then, he said it was like that when he bought it, and the clutch must have exploded inside at some point. What on earth was he talking about? I've always wondered. Maybe someone will help solve the mystery.
