[Fot] Racing a Triumph TRANSMISSIONS GT6 REBUILD

[Charles WATSON]

I think I started all this muckracking, so a question to help me out based on
what I'm hearing:

"Facts"
- The GT6 trans was good when new, but really unreliable now after 40 years
- Suitable alternatives are TR 3/4/6, T9 or various Toyota
- I have a typical spec GT6 4-spd with overdrive

Questions:
- Am I better off swapping the base unit out during the build or giving it a
chance?
- Is OD of any use?
- From my read of regs, a five speed is allowed as an alternative when
replacing a 4spd OD unit, as long as 5th gear is < a 1.1 ratio.  If so, what's
my best option?




Thanks,

Chuck Watson
