1" INPUT SHAFT RELEASE PARTS

Increasingly gearboxes with a 1" input shaft derived from the Triumph 2000/2.5PI range rather than the standard 1¼" input shaft are being used in TR2-6. When these smaller shafts are used ( which are perfectly capable of transmitting the torque of the most powerful TR engines incidentally) an alternative release kit can be used incorporating a smaller release bearing than the standard TR2-6 item. This smaller release bearing reduces the force needed to depress the clutch and may be useful in a road car or competition car that has a heavy clutch fitted able to transmit the torque of a more powerful engine. The parts needed are listed below.

These parts cannot be fitted if the gearbox uses the standard 1¼" input shaft or if a spring clutch is in use. The 'bull-nose' bearing is only suitable for diaphragm type clutches.

The parts required are listed below.
