Actually I have both flywheels too so that wouldn't be an issue but at this
point since it will be street driven and I have a new TR3 friction disc, I
will stay with the TR3 setup.
So I will then move the front snout and throwout bearing with sleeve over
from the 3 tranny to the 4, am I correct? The dire warning in the Moss
catalog didn't seem to apply to my situation so I would like to just double
check before proceeding. (I think I must be right but want to be aware of
any gotchas.)
Thanks,
Jim
