| These are 
				several views of how a TR6 transmission looks like after 
				removing the complete interior and getting it ready to come out of the car.

				.jpg) Here's Mr. 
				Transmission, out of the car, sitting all alone waiting to go 
				back in. 
				.jpg) Next you 
				will see the Borg & Beck pressure plate on the flywheel. 
				.jpg) Note all of 
				the rust?  That's caused by metal being ground off of the 
				faceof the fingers of the pressure plate and the contact side of the 
				Gunst bearing.
 
				.jpg) Why so, you 
				may ask?  Because, for whatever reason, the Gunst bearing 
				willnot turn freely with the pressure plate.  Rather it will 
				sit stationary, riding against
 it, causingthe metal to be scraped off and producing a very loud 
				constant squeal
 unless the clutch pedal is depressed to about 1/3 of it's travel 
				down or back up again.
 Here is the 
				bearing on the cross-shaft assembly waiting to be removed. Please note the surface wear after only 800 miles, most of which 
				were done on the highway.
 
				.jpg) This is 
				another view of the bearing and the wear caused by friction 
				between the metals. 
				.jpg) This is the 
				pressure plate and the fingers are showing signs of metal 
				fatigue already.Excessive wear at low mileage, coupled with the bluing affect of 
				the steel
 from the constant heat would have led to early failure at the 
				worst possible time
 
				.jpg) Another 
				close up of the wear from the non spinning Gunst bearing. 
				.jpg) This is the 
				other side of the pressure plate and the clutch disk that wasremoved , just to show how conservatively the car has been 
				driven.
 
				.jpg) 
				.jpg) Finally, 
				the new TRF Magic Clutch Kit meets old parts on the way out.I have already installed the new cross shaft, fork and shaft 
				bushings.
 
				.jpg) Notice the 
				size of the Land Cruiser T/O bearing on the left compared to theGunst on the right.  Dave and Charles from TRF carefully 
				chose the mating parts for
 the TRF Magic Clutch kits and have been successfully selling 
				them for several years.
 
				.jpg) Finally, 
				the new magic clutch assembly installed and awaiting reassembly. 
				.jpg) 
				All back together and waiting 
				for the new carpeting.  Any marks, bared metal or surface 
				rust has been removed, the pan completely cleaned and all spots 
				of concern sealed with POR15, then coated a second time to 
				insure no problems in the future.

				Next stop, new carpet 
				installation....
