[Fot] GT6 Trani removal

[Joe]

On my TR3, which has a T5 trans, I cut the front of the tunnel and made a removable section.  The T5 weighs 95#, so it’s best done as a 2 person job or using a hoist.  Joe B.

Both 4-speeds and at least one with a D-type OD.  With the small boost in power over stock, and the heavy track day use, they just didn't last.  That's why I finally put the Toyota trans in.

>>   I had what I suspect is a clutch failure in my GT6.  TR6 engine with Toyota T50 trans. My question is can I remove the trans, from inside the car or do I need to pull the engine?  I have never done it before without pulling the engine but I would like to this time..This is a street car ..
