My  bro-in-law is thinking of converting his 3 to auto to enable his father

drive it.

I think later TRs had borg-warners as a factory option,  what model(s)
transmissions?

Would they drop in or require extensive  custom fabricationany listers running
auto trans?

Steve Hedke of British Pacific Rovers in Valencia,  Calif, converted a TR6 to 
autotrans for his father. As I recall. one  problem he had was that the 
tranny for some reason had to be clocked slightly,  perhaps because of the dodnor 
car.
 
I think he used a Borg 11 or 12 . I woud think a Borg 12 from a Stag  would  
work well, although the  XJ6  crowd was  converting those to GM auto trannys a 
few years ago when I had an  XJ6.
