[TR] Got the GT6 running!

[Jim Muller]

Today was an even better day.  I got the GT6 fully assembled.  It 
fired up without too much trouble and I drove it aroudn the 
neighbohood successfully.  Even used 3 of the 4 gears.  They all 
worked.  The clutch behaved and sounded normal.

This was all due to a squealing bearing between the input and 
mainshafts, also producing a whine on overrun.  I had a local machine 
shop put a hardened sleeve on the tip of the mainshaft, then 
installed new bearings of course.  I took the opportuntity to have a 
pin put into the brass TO bearing holder to eliminate the noise where 
it had gotten so worn.

It's only been a year or so...  Yay!!!
