[Fot] TR transmission bushing I.D. and O.D.

[Kramer, Robert]

Friends,

Are there specs for the I.D. and O.D. for the big TR transmissions? I've
rebuilt a bunch of them over the years and occasionally I have trouble with a
tranny that doesn't like downshifting into second gear. I think that the gear
is hanging up on the O.D. of the bush and the bushing and gear start spinning
on the mainshaft, screwing up the speed matching of the synchros. I build them
with the bush tight enough that it should not spin on the mainshaft as long as
the gear is spinning freely on the bush.  I suspect bad repro bushes. Does
anyone have an opinion or other experiences?
