gearbox swap

["Bernd Ingelfinger" <bernd@triumphtr.de>]

Hi,

I have just received a rebuild gearbox for my TR5 and since this car isn't
done so far, I decided to put it in my TR3A
I had to face the problem, that the gearbox is about 1" longer than the
original one.
That effects that the silent rubbers carrying the engine are a bit squeezed as
well as the rubber under the rear end of the gearbox.
Want to say, it doesn't fit as smoothly as it fitted into my TR6. The original
starter motor didn't make any problems.
Regards,
Bernd
