[Nobbc] Nobbc 2010/GEARBOX PROBLEMS

[Mike Gianandrea]

Hi Todd,

I had to put clutch in my TR once, which we did by removing the seats and 
transmission tunnel, and moving the motor forward. There is a skid plate 
welded in under my tranny, so it would drop down. Pain in the but I didn't 
have to pull the motor.
