We change the gearbox oil after every race weekend on Jeff's TR3, per =

It's cheap insurance, and it works. And we all know how fast that TR3 =

Thanks Glen.

Subject: [Fot] Gearbox thoughts
Since we have been thinking about gearbox's. The Stag layshaft was =
changed by
Triumph to try and make them last longer due to the additional torque of =
the V8.
They added needle bearings in place of the brass thrust washers at each =
end and
an additional bearing in the lay gear at the end where 1st gear is. Has =
anybody
tried this set up in a racing box? Does it help in the wearing of the =
layshaft?
The addition of needle bearings means that the spacing of the box inside
where the lay gear rides is greater. The needle bearings being thicker =
than the
thrust washers. This means that the Stag box is different inside.=20
I have been
able to make a tool that will cut the inside of a TR box to be the same =
as a
Stag. I plan to build a box using the needle bearings. Don't at this =
time plan
to put another bearing inside the lay gear. If I make the lay gear =
deeper
inside, I am afraid it will not be hard enough for the bearings to ride =
inside.
Before doing all this, has any body gone down this road before. If so =
what
has been the experience?=20
Also any body with thoughts chime in. Is it worth the
effort?
