[TR] Transmission Woes (Dave)

[hdrider570 at att.net]

The problem is that you are expecting your transmission to act like a 
M22 "Rock-crusher" transmission.  It is not that nor was it ever 
designed to be.  It's a 40's design with added first gear syncro's.

The best thing to do is use modern synthetic oil like Redline MTL and 
treat it with a bit of respect.  Learn to double declutch and remember 
that everyone that you are competing against is using the same 
technology so it is an even playing field.

If that does not suit your fancy then get a Tr7/8 with a 5 speed or 
modify your car with Herman's conversion set up.
