The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

Actually, that is quite common! I have had several PAS Triumphs over the years, and the feel of the steering does vary - as you say some are lighter then others. This also applies to manual steering as well. Other factors do come into it - i.e. the efficiency of the pump, tyre pressures / tyre size...

There was a long entry in the Register Service Notes "Bible" about 20 years ago, a copy of which was held by an NZ Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register member. It included an NZ Motor Corporation service update on vibration problems. One of the critical points was that propshaft UJ angles had to be withi...

Hi Kev, I've been running a set of CV driveshafts for 16 yrs now and can't complain - it's really fit and forget! I've done at least 40k miles until now without a problem ... As mentioned before you're looking for Stag items for a Mk2, TR6 ones are too short. I believe CDD offer Mk1 items as well. ...

Hello Kev,

Chris Witor sells them, I don't know where they are made.

I know that Alec. CW will only be able to obtain what is available to the market place in general. What I was saying is that the quality of the present GKN stuff is not as good as it was (in my opinion).

Hello Torque2me, personally I would not consider a CV joint propellor shaft, I just can't see any advantage bearing in mind how cheap and esy it is to replace Hardy Spicer joints? I find they last a long time also. Alec Are Hardy Spicer joints still made? HS was owned by GKN during the life of the ...

Never had any experience of them myself, but the few Register members I know who have bitten the bullet, and been able to afford their high initial outlay, have had nothing but praise for them. I was thinking of doing the prop-shaft first as the drive-shaft's are extremely costly (small batch numbe...

Hi groupies,

Anyone changed to CV joints on either the prop-shaft or drive shafts?

If so, what is your experience?

Kev

I am still ,very slowly , trying to get my replacement engine ready to instal. When I came to set the valve clearances the adjusters are almost all the way through the lock nuts which set alarm bells ringing' It seems that I have a 218227 head and need longer pushrods, the 8.3125 length which look ...

There’s a lot of comment on the Stag Owners Club forum about an update to the BW35 or BW65 three speed auto gearbox with a later three speed and overdrive ZF box from a later Jaguar. It seems that the conversion is about £4K-£5K, but it transforms the Stag auto improving driveability and fuel consu...

Or, strictly speaking, a TR6C engine (carbs not PI!)

That spec sounds awfully like an 'S' spec though.

Cheers,
Mike.

Off the top my head I think 'S' was 106 bhp and 105 mph. Them TVR's must be a lot lighter or had different gearbox/fd ratios.
