1. transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 08 Jun 1997 12:25:45 -0400; Hello all! I finally got my Spitfire running, and was driving it around my block last night. Everything seems fine except for a whining noise coming from the transmission. It sounds like an old tired; /html/triumphs/1997-06/msg00446.html (7,742 bytes)
2. Re: transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 08 Jun 1997 21:15:14 -0100; You almost certainly have an original, 'early' gearbox, with *unsynchronised* first gear. It behaves exactly like it should. What you do is you come to a complete standstill before you downshift into; /html/triumphs/1997-06/msg00454.html (8,362 bytes)
3. Re: transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 8 Jun 1997 21:19:37 -0400 (EDT); Agreed, Eric, on the diagnosis of an early gearbox! But I must disagree on your recommendation for dealing with it. One simply needs to practice the fine art of double-clutching and "matching revs"!; /html/triumphs/1997-06/msg00464.html (8,974 bytes)
4. Re: Transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 09 Jun 1997 07:04:40 -0700; ** Ed, You didn't mention (or I missed) what year your Spitfire was. If it was pre '71 then It prbably has a non-synchro gearbox, which would explain the gnashing in first. Its been my experience th; /html/triumphs/1997-06/msg00472.html (8,351 bytes)

Double clutching will also allow you to downshift to 1st if you do not have synchro mesh. And as someone else said "it's cool."

6. Re: Transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 9 Jun 1997 10:34:06 -0500 (CDT); Barry and Ed, In addition to having a non-synchro first gear, the pre '71 gearboxes have a straight-cut first gear. The straight-cut gears whine - this is why many cars whine in reverse gear BTW. So; /html/triumphs/1997-06/msg00481.html (8,247 bytes)
7. Re: Transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 09 Jun 1997 08:50:18 -0700; ** Your absolutely right, I wasn't aware (am now, never had a Spitfire one apart!) that they used straight cut gears, although I should have suspected as most non synchro gears are.

8. Re: transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 09 Jun 1997 20:35:50 -0100; Phew! I'm glad... ;-) Of course, you're right. Learning this skill should be a compulsory part of getting your driver's licence! (as should folding down tops/hoods...)

Re: transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 9 Jun 1997 14:45:34 +0600 (EDT); Eric, the number of splines is not a problem if one goes from an early non-synchro gearbox to a Mk.IV Spitfire three-rail gearbox. It is only the later single-rail "Marina" gearboxes that have a diff; /html/triumphs/1997-06/msg00496.html (8,006 bytes)

11. Re: transmission noises (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 10 Jun 1997 11:23:46 -0500; Ed, What year is your Spitfire? The early model Spitfires did not have syncros for first gear. Just grin and bear with it. For your front end wobbles you may need a trunion kit. FWIW Larry Zink 1964; /html/triumphs/1997-06/msg00555.html (8,635 bytes)
