I just got through installing one of Herman's 5 speeds in a TR3 last month.
It is one of the best made after market items I have ever installed.
Everything is well thought out and everything fits. If you have questions
Herman is there to answer the phone. Once installed, the conversion works as
advertised. The only change I made was to install a clutch master cylinder
with a smaller bore so the clutch pedal would have more travel and would be
easier to push since it is my wife's car (She had complained about the
original Triumph clutch). At 3500 rpms the car keeps up with freeway
traffic. I am a very satisfied customer.
