[TR] Transmission re-build/service

[tfansher at comcast.net]

I vote for switching to overdrive, having drivenB 150 miles yesterday in great
weather on Central Florida back roads with three other Triumphs for lunch
then, Interstate 4 back home at 70 to 75mph in overdrive.B  Also, since the
tranny is out Joe Alexander would recommend thatB you might consider
lightening the flywheel.B  There's a fine line between a "too light one" that
won't idle and do well in "stop and go" traffic and the 22# or so stock one.

I have lightened both the one's on the 3's and I agree that it makes the cars
much quicker with no down side.B  I even think the flywheels fit in one of the
"if it fits it's one price" USPS boxes. (Maybe without the ring gear).B  I'm
thinking the aluminum ones the racers use are too light, but check with Joe.
