Clutch/gearbox engagement issue - 1974 Triumph TR6
Has anyone any idea how I may overcome - recently I had difficulty engaging reverse gear without the gear grating.
I decided to replace the clutch slave cylinder complete with activating fork system fully bled. I also changed the gearbox oil incl of overdrive. My first test in the garage (engine cold) appeared to operate correctly in all gears especially reverse. Although when the engine had warmed up the reverse gear grating returned and included difficulty engaging first gear. The clutch bite operation is almost on the floor of the car in order I may take off in gear.
HISTORY - some time ago a colleague told me the fork which engages the slave cylinder was in the top hole pin which meant the operation wasn’t straight engaging the cylinder as soon as I put it back in the top hole it worked.
AM now totally confused is this a internal gearbox issue requiring a rebuild or alternatively an adjustment issue or maybe the clutch needs replacing.
CAN ANYONE ASSIST ME.
With thanks Brian SCULPHER
