This begs the question of how does the switching work on this gearbox? My 76
J-type definitely de-activates the solenoid during the 3-4 or 4-3 shifts. I
cannot recall where the 3-4 switch is located on the top cover. The TRF TR6
manual is sort of helpful but it illustrates quite a number of top cover
layouts with some having the switches towards the front of the car
(indicating that the fork is the activator) and some with the switches
towards the rear of the car (indicating that the "rail" is the
activator???). I am not sure about the rail being the activator in the
second case. Nonetheless, if this does prove to be the reason why the 3-4
shift produces a grind, I would be interested in modifying my gearbox so
that it works like Barry's (ie. O/D solenoid stays energized when the
shifter is in the 3-4 plane).
Anyone have ideas on this?
