[6pack] TR Gearboxes

[David Fidler]

Bill,

When you find out what the problem is, I have a 1960 TR3a gearbox (in pieces),
which I cannibalized for an A-Type overdrive, it may have all the parts your
friend will need. It is in good shape and was working perfectly before the car
it was in got wrecked.

Best regards,

David.
