appreciate if you guys could take a look and tell me  what you think.
michael sent me some transmission pics and it is a  5speed.  at least
the main transmission.  the rear extension i  have questions on.  not
sure if that is 4 or 5speed.  the speedo  attachment is on the drivers
side just ahead of the shifter?  there  are numbers on the
transmission, do they tell anything?....

The numbers don't, but the name does. I was under the impression that the  
five-speed gearbox used in the TR7 was of Rover origin, NOT Borg-Warner.  
Granted, lots of British cars in the 1960s and 1970s used Borg-Warner  
automatics, 
but not manual gearboxes!?

Triumph Herald engine with   wings.
