Re: TR7 Transmission Woes (too)

[Hashouse@aol.com]

My "replacement" TR7 4-speed has a terrible reverse--grinding, jumping out of
gear, etc.--

I know that there was a factory refit on this weak point of the transmission.
 I intend to refit the laygear, 1st/2nd cluster and reverse with the later
(improved) version and also change out the synchros with new ones.  Has
anyone ever done this.  It should be a straight forward job.  Is it?  Any
recommendations (short of don't bother repairing a barely adequate
transmission.)?   Thank you in advance.
