Subj: Re: [TR] TR4A transmission needed
Hi Arnold:
When I bought my 4A in 1998 it came with a spare transmission (non OD).
Don't know why the previous owner had a spare because I have never had a
problem with the original during 25,000 or so miles. The serial number on
that spare is CT72579 which makes it a mid to late 1966. It has been on the
top of a two drawer filing cabinet for all the years in the attached garage.
It shifts to all gears but other than that I have not touched it. Only
problem is I am in far northeast Indiana. To give a general idea of
shipping, I sent an O/D TR2 transmission to Connecticut and the UPS cost was
$80
but that was in 1992 so that has definitely changed. Try UPS on line for a
shipment of 80 lbs from my zip of 46706 to yours.

Hello all,1965 TR4A is back on the road...barely. Engine is once again
strong. Fingers crossed.
We, mechanic buddy the pre 1980 owner, and I want to pull transmission and
repair. If I can
find another usable transmission plan would be to switch out and then
recondition the original.If someone has a questionable transmission I would
consider buying it for parts. We are not looking for an overdrive. That is
currently beyond my budget. Perhaps you have installed a Toy 5 speed and
your old tranny is taking up space. I have a decent TR4 left side door with
glass available for partial trade or sale. I am located near Durham North
Carolina, not far from VIR. I remain on the digest. Thanks for any leads.
