Randall,
I have the Piggott book, but I?ve also seen some other ?very official? type
publication stating syncro trannies in TSF TR3b?s. I just checked my tranny,
which was pulled by the PO. It has a number stamped on it TSF 251. My
commission number is TSF 198L. Were tranny numbers running a little ahead like
engine numbers did? Also the top was pulled - and it has FOUR syncro rings!!!
Someday I will get it all back together and get to experience the syncro tranny.
TIA for your help,
Kerry
