Well Al, originality might be an issue, but for many of us the issue is
probably more of a money thing than anything else. False economy? Maybe.
But there's also a certain satifaction in fixing up a knackered TR6 tranny
and making it work right. After doing the job 4 or 5 times, you get
downright competent at the job.
FWIW, the technology in the TR6 gearbox is pretty good. I'll have to take
you for a spin sometime and show you the smooth clutchless shifting
operation that a TR6 can deliver.

p.s if you need to unload the old gearbox, I might have some space in my
"collection" for another donor.
