<p class="ydp32aa0984yiv9638961910MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:New serif;color:#1F497D;">The TR6 gearbox is a better overall unit, so if it were me, I’d opt for it in a car with the upgrades you list.</span></p>

<p class="ydp32aa0984yiv9638961910MsoNormal">I recently acquired a car with a TR3 overdrive that probably needs to be rebuilt. I was wondering – is the non synchro first gear really an issue?

<p class="ydp32aa0984yiv9638961910MsoNormal">The car has a TR4 engine anyway and I have a nice TR6 tranny (non overdrive). We do not care about originality; rather we are going for performance with a mild cam, 89 mm pistons, lightened flywheel, etc</p>

<p class="ydp32aa0984yiv9638961910MsoNormal">Am trying to decide if I should sell the TR3 tran to fund the upgrade on the TR6 tran</p>

<p class="ydp32aa0984yiv9638961910MsoNormal">both the engine and tran were out of the car; its going to need some work anyway</p></div>
