>A quick question, what are peoples experiences on the cost of rebuilding a
GT6 gearbox or any TR one for that matter. It seems mine looks like it
needs one. It won't go into second at any speed and when the drain plug
was
pulled little metal shaving were attached to the magnet.

At any speed? Even at rest? It might be the shifter. You can take the
top off of the transmission and work the shifter and see if the problem is
there. (caution! Do not operate the shifting yokes with the top off. It is
far too easy to overstroke the yokes and the detent balls will come out!
Ask me how I know)
$300 to $500 (US) for parts. You might try refilling the trans with 30W
non-detergent, drive a few miles, drain and refill and see if that has any
effect. Probably not but it is easy and cheap. A friend did this with is
misbehaving overdrive and it works better. Still not right but better.
Good luck
