- Not been much TR6 traffic recently, so I'll pop a question about handling characteristics of the TR6. First up, my TR6 has 24 year old rubber bushings, but the stock shocks are fine. Coming hard out

- My TR4A doesn't do that -- but then again, I might not drive as hard as you do. I'd say the rubber bushings are definitely on their way out after 24 years. Mine are too-- they show it by power on, p

- My '72 TR6 does the same thing. I have also been led to believe it is spline lock. I have poly-bushings, heavy-duty lever arm shocks (Apple Hydraulics rebuilds), my diff mounts have even been reinfo

- Liberal amounts of molybdene-based grease can make a big difference, yes. Renewing the bushes seems to help, also. Good dampers won't hurt, either. You can't get rid of the spline lock entirely in th

- two weeks ago I finished replacing the 22 year old bushings on my TR6. My symptom was......level road, hard acceleration up the gears, shifting from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th, as I released the accel
