: The TR6 box in a GT6 is a common
: conversion for the racers but slightly
: more difficult in a street car. The
: rear NHV mount requires some clever
: fabrication for a street car while the
: in the racer it is ignored.
: Additionally, the TR gearset SUCKS for
: the GT6 and thusly requires the $600
: close ratio gearset from Ken
: Gillanders.

: Do fit the box You need the engine
: backing plate from a TR and an extended
: pilot bushing to engage more of the
: input shaft. The clutch slave can be
: mounted using the 2.5 Saloon mount or
: fabbed at home.

: Guess I am a throwback and date myself
: but.....I have most of the Triumph
: tools for gbx repairs and
: inspect/rebuild very carefully every
: one I do. I treat each one like it is a
: race car transmission.....Haven't had
: problems...knock on wood. Everyone has
: opinions, just voicing mine.

: The few TR6 gearboxes I have seen are
: quite a bit larger than the 3-rain and
: single-rail boxes. I imagine a lot of
: tweaking and fabricating would be
: required to make a TR6 gearbox fit. I
: expect a new tunnel cover would be
: required and that it would encroach a
: lot into the cabin.

: Sorry for bit of confusion, my car is a
: Mark 3 GT6. Transmission has had a hard
: life. Suzuki in Bugeye looked great fun
: but any alternate trans would have to
: be adapted by someonelse. I can
: assemble but I can't design. Thought
: about a TR6 trans but you never hear of
: anyone doing it so there must be some
: problem.
