That was a deliberate modification by the factory, which I believe was to lessen the driveline shock on IRS cars. Considering how many TR6 have broken where the diff mounts to the frame, it seems li

That makes sense. My diff mounts were broken before the OD but I fixed them shortly after I put the OD in. The OD probably made the broken mounts clunk even worse and it finally got my attention. My

I recently fitted a TR3 Breather pipe to my TR4A having been advised by quite a few people that that would help cure the oil leak from my rear crank bearing. It increased with speed so that at 80mph

As has been mentioned you could just switch to OD off whilst shifting. I have found that if the sequence is just right you can trick out the synchros and get gear clash. To avoid this I would recomme

My OD was scavenged from a 1971 rust bucket TR6 but it is a banger not a slurrer so maybe it was still in the parts bin from the early ODs when the rust bucket was built. Hey Bud, Not one of the OD g

As a point of comparison, I bought a new Corvette in 1975 for $8500. And the camber compensators I sell for Spitfires for $195.00 were priced at $25.00 back in the day. Joe _____ From: TR250Driver@ao

I know there are different gear sets and OD ratios, so perhaps this would not apply in all cases. But for my A-type & early TR6 gear set, 2nd OD is almost a perfect split between 2nd direct and 3rd
