Hey Peter,
Hey Peter and all,
I have a question you might be able to answer for me. I just put an OD
into my TR6. I bought the right-angle gear thing for connecting the speedo
cable to the tranny. My question is what direction is this thing suppose to
point? Also how do you run the Speedo cable?
Should the angle thing be pointed down, and then the speedo cable run
under the tranny from left to right?
Thanks,
JHD IV
I hope this question wasn't to dumb. ;-)

Scott,
I recently took mine out and very little oil came out (even though the
gearbox was filled as specified).
You might consider replacing the oil seal on the gear when you get the
replacement (if it doesn't come with a new seal). There is also an
o-ring in there somewhere (any parts manual should illustrate this).
Good luck,
Peter Zaborski
