[TR] TR4 gear selector

[Gerald Van Vlack]

The simple answer is yes, you can remove the top cover which has the forks attached. Done it many times on a 4A. You are making this far to complicated.

 Is there enough clearance to pull the shifter forks clear of the synchros with the heater in place?
That is really my question, sorry that I didn’t make that clear. I’ll need to get underneath and see if I can estimate the clearance to the tunnel cover and add that to topside to the heater. I have an old transmission that I can take the top off and try to estimate some dimensions. It’s a fair amount of work to get to the last bit only to realize Oh crap, this won’t work.

I didn't see a response to this.  The lever itself is easily removed although you will have to remove the boot first.  And probably the yoke.  The rest is part of the transmission cover.  You can pull that, too, but you will need to remove the transmission cover (that big, cardboard (or, in my case, plastic) part).  And make that a maybe.  Is there enough clearance to pull the shifter forks clear of the synchros with the heater in place?

I’m wondering if there is enough clearance to remove the gear selector from the transmission with transmission in the car. 4A and 6 are likely the same.

Very belated update on rear dampers. Put in 10W motorcycle fork oil and I’m satisfied with the result. I was afraid it might be too soft but not so.
