[TR] TR4 gear selector

[Allen Hess]

Many years ago when I rebuilt this transmission, I put new springs in the synchro hubs and selector shafts. The shifting effort was greater than the original transmission it replaced. So I want to check the release load on the selector shafts (I can’t say that I have never made a mistake). If it’s the synchro springs the I’ll just live with it.

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.

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?
