<<  I opened up the tranny, and found what looks
 like normal gears. I tried comparing gears with some old TR6 ones I had in a
 box, and one had the same number of teeth and another was off by one. If
 memory serves me, this is meaningless, as the TR6 changed in numbers of
 teeth over the range.
,<snip>the TR6 standard gearboxes came with just 2 ratios.
Mark the in and out shafts and count the revs in each gear.
Report your findings & I'll check my info
 Does straight cut mean what I think it does, all the
 gears should look like reverse? 
<snip>Yes, like reverse.  
Or does it mean something else? If so, how
 can you tell if it's a C/R gearset?
 TIA >> 
<snip>I have never heard if a straight cut gearset for this box,
and I have worked on many of them.  
Again, count the number of revs of the in shaft vs 
the prop shaft flange and post it to me & I'll 
probably be able to match it to a known set.
1.88 to 1 is the really trick CR 1st, and all
are 1 to 1 in 4th
