Robert, just did the same thing on my TR6.  If you compare your old gear to
the new gear you'll see the stud is in a different location.  That will
change the overall stroke of the wiper arm across the windscreen.  It
wasn't difficult at all to swap the old gear for the new gear.

Robert, 

The current issue of _Moss Motoring Magazine_ has a tech
article that will get you started at rebuilding the wiper motor. Not
sure if it's the same as on my Bugeye but it was pretty easy to do. I
did mine in 1992 as the grease was hard and the gears wouldn't turn.

Regards, 

Dave W.
