GUNST THROW-OUT BEARINGS, TR4A
A German Triumph enthusiast who works on Triumphs as a business in Heidelberg
has developed a super high-tech throw-out bearing for the TR4A, TR250, and TR6. The
Gunst bearing, as it is known, is a very high-quality bearings made especially for these
models. It comes installed on a bronze carrier sleeve, and it is meant to run all the time
by always pressing against the "fingers" of the clutch pressure plate. The Gunst bearing
has been endorsed by a number of influential Triumph enthusiasts in the U.S., and it
has been imported by several different clubs. A pseudo-Gunst bearing has also appeared,
but the one sold by The Roadster Factory is the genuine Gunst bearing. The bearing kit
comes with special steel dowels to locate the gearbox more positively on the rear engine
plate and with a spring to pre-load the bearing lightly against the clutch fingers. Full
instruction in English are provided. Note that Joachim Gunst recommends that his
bearing works best with a LUK clutch, but other experts believe it will also work well
with other clutches, particularly TRF's Magic Clutch kit listed previously.
