You might want to talk to Brad Orndorff in Alabama about trading your TR=
3 gearbox for a rebuilt TR6 with overdrive. Might turn out to be the most c=
ost effective and, certainly, the most labor effective.

If you don't take the car on trips of any length on the freeway you p=

I think what others are saying is you can install the A-type from the=

Anyway to put in a new main shaft you need to rebuild the transmissio=

Anyway, the A type can be mated to the TR6 box, but it is a bit of a =

This is my long winded way of saying I would sell the 3 box and 0/D a=
