Subj: Advice on transmission

I'm in the process of rebuilding my TR4 overdrive transmission. It kept
jumping out of third gear
and I had to hold it in gear to keep it from slipping out. After
disassembling the box I
found the main problem an some other interesting ones. The bushing for
second and
third gear was damaged and the end play was excessive. Also the cluster gear
set
thrust washer toward the rear had spun damaging the aluminum case. I
realized the case
is damaged beyond use.
I had a later TR6 non-overdrive transmission that I also disassembled and
found in good shape.
There were some minor differences in the type of bearings used for the
cluster gear set and input
shaft.
Well my questions are about what parts I should use. Do you have any
recomendations about
what parts I should use. There is a steel bushing to replace the bronze
type. Is there any problem
using this.
I appreciate any information and recomendations that you could pass along. I
have rebuilt many
Spitfire transmissions and this is the first TR one.
Thanks, Bill Doty
