Hi 6'ers -

My 73 TR6 has developed a bad case of Gearbox blues.  It has a
J-type OD on it.

It sounds like there are 'things' bouncing around inside the box,
pieces of what i don't know.  It shifts into 1-2-3-4 okay, not as
easily as before, but will not go into reverse.  It halts at the
first indent you feel when shifting down-and-back. Then it sticks
there.  To get it back, just release the clutch and moves quite
freely.  Additionally - theres always an additionally - i think
the OD unit is also shot.  It feels like it's "on" all the time
thru 3-4, but moving the switch doesn't do anything.

I suspect:

I've blown the reverse selector

The OD unit is blown, stuck on as it seems to be.  Will a stuck
OD affect gear shift and selection?


Is there an easy way to verify all the damage -if any before i
pull everything out to remove the hump and tranny?

Are there any places that stock / rebuild tranny's and J type
OD's, preferably in the northern California Area.

All help, suggestions gratefully accepted!
