I recently had a chance to take a friend's TR-250 on a fairly long road trip (1600 miles). The first day out the overdive operated in a rather strange fashion: for the first few miles while departing

The tires are nearly new. I've put about 100,000 miles on the car and gone through several sets of tires and it doesn't seem to make a difference. The last set was on new SS wire wheels and balanced

Hate to say this, Scott, but I have had somewhat similar problems. The thrust washer inside the planetary carrier had broken and gotten ground up by the gears, the resulting swarf was interfering wit

Indeed, they can even appear round on the balancing machine, but still cause vibration when loaded, if there is a variation in stiffness. But it rarely happens IMO; and like Bill I have been through

I didn't exactly rebuild it, but I have had mine apart and back together. Didn't work when I took it apart, did work after I put it back together. (Previous rebuilder had apparently assembled it wron

Last year my other (non Triumph, early '60s Ford) summer vehicle developed a bad "driveline" vibration (note: no steering wheel shake). It took me 3 weeks of trying to find it before I replaced the *

I am looking for a TR6 and came across one with quite a gap at the rear side of the driver door where it meets the back of the body. The door closed OK, but it didn't look good. The fellow said he ha

detaching the body from frame and shimming is the only way to fix that - and it is very hard to get right - I have seen more than 1 car look worse after this has been attempted by competent restorati

My 250 had a similar problem and shimming worked better than I could have hoped for. Regarding whether or not to keep looking, I guess it is all down to how much you are prepared to spend. I'd rather

Finding a TR6 with "perfect" panel gaps is almost impossible as the factory didn't exactly worry about perfection. How big a gap are you talking about? A long time ago the gap test was............. i

Shimming the body is pretty straight forward. IMHO, any professional restoration shop that can't get it right isn't very competent. Don't let a door gap steer you away from an otherwise good car. It
