: Bit of advice re transmissions. Check to
: see the spring is actually in the hole
: before you drop in the 1/2 hub balls.
: Greased and without the spring it goes
: all the way in and will not come out.
: JB Weld on a small screwdriver tip
: touching the ball left over night and
: the gods were with me an it popped out.

: Parts from TR7 4 speed are
: interchangeable as a set and a bit
: stronger. There are possible mainshaft
: complications dependent on whether you
: have overdrive or not. It needs the
: fine spline TR7 clutch. Ratios are the
: same.
:
: Another alternative is the W57/W58 from
: the Toyota Supra or the late 80s and
: early 90s. This initially looks too
: big but does in fact fit quite nicely.
: It has better ratios than most
: alternatives but not as good as
: original. HVDA does a kit to suit the
: TR6, some of which (bell housing,
: clutch release) will translate to a GT6
: with some TR6 parts. I suspect it's
: not cheap so may be overkill for a
: standard, street driven GT6.

: Vitesse 2L (mostly UK market "GT6
: Saloon")

: 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.
