[TR] TR6 transmission leaks

[Bob Danielson]

They're not airtight what with the way the shifter box is constructed. I
mean you can fill these things by pouring gear oil in the top when the shift
lever goes so I'm not sure what an air vent would do. The differentials do
have a vent however. 

My TR6 tranny leaked like a sieve but the Toyota 5 speed that I put in is
dry as a bone and the only thing I did to it was replace the front and rear
seals.

Let's face it...........Triumphs leak! :-)

Listerati,
	Do TR6 transmission have a penchant for leaking due to a lack of a
vent? Or is there a vent someplace. A local acquaintance has been told by a
transmission shop that the reason his several-times rebuilt transmission is
leaking is because there is no venting, and boy, he sure would like to drill
into the case and install one. !!
	
	Thanks     Peter C.
