[WPTA] New TR6 Owner

Hi I’m a new member and new to the triumph cars.
I’m going to install an overdrive transmission in my 1980 spitfire and was wondering if I could use the shifter from the original 4 speed transmission and mount the overdrive switch on the dashboard.Any ideas ?ThanksHugh DeLaney

  Steve,   
   So, you must have an overdrive equipped car! Great! Non overdrive cars do not require the angle drive.   
   If you have an angle drive, it must have a washer in order to avoid failures such as you are experiencing. Go to Moss Motors part no. 021-511 “Instructions and Resources” for a description of this washer.   
   As JVV suggests, are you aware that there is a step on the reverse shifting fork, over which you must lift the lever in order to move it to the right, before moving it to the rear?   
   And, also as suggested, you must remove the broken piece before installing the new angle drive. If you cannot, I have an entire coffee can full of good speedo drives. You’re welcome to one, if needed.

 The one I got from the roadster factory we put in and as I said it only lasted 50 miles. But when we took the old one out looks like an original the end of the cable was broken off that goes into the transmission. Couldn’t find that broken off piece  
   I am not very familiar with these transmissions   
    What affect would it have on the operation of the transmission with that broken piece?   
   I have been having some problems getting into reverse    
   the shift lever won’t slide over and back the way it used to. Well any thoughts would be appreciated I really don’t want to tear the transmission out.   Steve

   Steve -   
   More than likely, the "angle" is junk.   
   Call Scott Harper at Team Triumph (330) 392-7176.   
   Scott may have a used one on hand that may be of higher quality.

    Speedometer cable broke, actually the angle speedometer cable connection to the transmission broke. Installed a new one today speedometer worked for about 50 miles and then it broke again. Anyone have any experience with this and know what might be causing it to break.?  76 TR 6 with O/D

  Hello,  
   I received an e-mail that we may have a new member in our midst that needs help with some minor issues with his TR6. His daughter bought it for him for Father’s Day (!!!) and it needs some TLC to get to 100%. He lives in Castle Shannon and would need some help to get going.   
   If you feel you can help, or can point this family in the right direction for help, reach out directly to Adrienne:

   Best,   Dexter
