There is a big difference between the 4A and the 74 TR6. There is a big
difference between the 71 TR6 and the 74 TR6. Starting in 1973 Triumph fitted
the
J-type overdrive in lieu of the A-type and modified the rear engine mount.
I've pulled the drive shaft from my 71 (with the J-type and an improvised
transmission mount) with ease. Since I replaced the frame with a 73 model I am
stymied on how to do it (although others have done it using extraordinary
measures).
The late TR6 is a unique animal in this respect.
