[TR] 'J' type from TR6

[Dave1massey at cs.com]

I have not but I think it is just about impossible* since there is not 
enough clearance behind the transmission to slide the OD unit off of the main 
shaft.  Reinstalling would be an exercise in frustration as well.  Keeping the 
splines on the sun gear and the sprag clutch aligned is tough enough when 
you do it right.

BTW, doing it right means securing the OD vertically with the output flange 
down and sliding the transmission and main shaft into the OD.  Trying to do 
it the other way will result in the clutch carrier dropping causing the 
afore mentioned splines which you just spent several minutes aligning to fall 
out of alignment.

*I said just about impossible because if I said it was impossible someone 
would cut out the driveshaft tunnel and handbrake mount just to prove me 
wrong.  There are ways to do just about anything but sometimes it is just easier 
to pull the transmission.
