I have a 1974 TR6 that I purchased awhile back. I decided that the car,
while it has a lot of potential, needs a lot of work so I decided to tear it
apart and start from the ground up. I have a rolling chassis now and I
decided to have a go at the transmission. I just removed the top cover on
the transmission. I have removed the three shafts of the external gearbox
however to get the 1st & 2nd gear spring & distance piece, the reverse
spring and plunger, and the 3rd & 4th selector spring & distance piece do I
just drill out the three plugs? I don't see any threads so I assume they
are the bucket type. Also, before I tore into everything, when putting the
car in reverse, on occasion, the gear lever would go much further back than
normal. It would basically lock in this position and take a lot of jiggling
to get it to release back to the neutral postion. Where might the trouble
with this be? In the external or top part of the gear box or down in the
internals. Everything looks good to me in the gearbox itself. Any comments
would be appreciated.
