Hi Richard,

I live in Edmonton and therefore think we suffer the same problems with parts 
access, exchange rate, etc.  I was wondering if you have done any tranny work 
on your 6, specifically release bearing/cluitch plate assembly and if so, who 
you choose for parts.  If so, did you do the work yourself?  I also have some 
questions regarding an electric O/D unit that packed it in just before 
wintering.

Thanks 
Ian P. 76 TR6

Hey, Mike.  I live in Halifax and recently had mine completely rebuilt.  Now
mind you, I went to what is considered to be the best (not cheapest0 guy in
our area and got the Full Meal Deal.  Shaved and rebuilt head, bored out,
high-lift cam, Pertonix ignition, oil filter adaptor, yada, yada, yada.
Even topped it off with a cast aluminum valve cover and K&Ns.  I think you
should expect to pay around $4,000 CAN.  Do it right and do it once.
