[Fot] Spitfire GT Transmission.

[Jim]

Bobby,

Bummer to hear that.  I hauled an autocrosser 400 miles to New Orleans to
have it start popping out of gear on my co-driver on the first run of a 2
day event.  So I understand the feeling.

Out of curiousity.. what was the failure mode?  Spun bearing?  Failed
synchro?  Layshaft out the side of the gearbox?



Cheers,

Jim
