I believe Ken Streeter from New England Triumphs is still advertising for
both an A and a J O/D, so you could probably sell it to him (of course, he
never answered my e-mails when I was selling one, and it's gone now - too
bad!). Better yet, use the proceeds of your sale to buy the Toyota 5-speed
from Conversion Components in NZ (can you all tell I'm dying to hear what
these are like?). JD

You don't want to put a J type OD in your TR250. 1st. the input
shaft is to
short. The TR6s had the pilot bush in the flywheel, not the end of
the
crankshaft. 2nd the rear trans mount is different. BUT with ENOUGH
$$$$$$$$
you can make anything fit in anywhere. Just ask me. I put a Chevy V6
in a
TR3. Take the J OD and traid it for a A OD.
