Last summer after much delay and aggravation I finally got a working Spitfire tranny and OD from Quantum Mechanics. It's a long story which I won't go into now, but it's pertinent because it sets up this current problem. When I first installed this tranny the clutch didn't disengage until the pedal was all the way down to the floor. I've lived with it but it seemed odd.
Lately the pedal has seemed to have less travel and seems to get harder to depress over the last third of what travel it does have. And now it has started making a whirring sound when I do depress it far enough to disengage. I haven't driven it much this spring anyway, but now I've parked it (again.) This sure seems like the clutch arm pivot pin has fallen out, or broken, or worn through, or whatever they do when they fail. I guess I'll be pulling out at least the tranny cover soon. With luck I won't have to pull the tranny itself. Before I start all this I wouldn't mind a bit of confirmation, yay or nay, on this diagnosis. What say you Triumphisti? Have you ever experienced this failure before? Can one replace, or simply place with no re- to it, the pin without pulling the bell housing from the block? (Dunit too many times to enjoy it.) Tanks. Happy Memorial Day. Thanks to all those who toil or have toiled to keep us free. Double thanks to those who gave their lives in the struggle. Be safe everyone. The highway is a dangerous place.
