I've been working on a friends 74 TR6 and we discovered lots of crank
end play.
I checked the end play because he was complaining of hard shifts or
grinding while putting the trans in reverse.
I removed the pan and found the thrust washers in the oil pan..
I've run into large end play issues with the TR6's but this is the first
I've seen in the pan.
Understanding that this is a common malady with the TR6, I ordered a few
sets of oversize thrust washers.
Don't think there is enough material in a .025" oversize bearing to fix
the problem.
I pulled the bearing cap and didn't see major wear in the thrust face of
the crank. I will need to do a closer inspection of the block
Anyone out there seen a reasonable/simple fix for this problem?
Thanks in advance
