List,
I'm finally able to put my transmission back in the car (1975 TR-6)
after several months of resealing and too hot to drive it anyway. There
are two 1/2" bolts that fasten the transmission end housing to the
mounting bracket. The RH bolt, which is 1/4" longer than the LH, also
holds the "steady bracket" for the gearshift extension, and has a spacer
on it. This bolt also calls for a jam nut instead of a regular bolt.
When I took all this apart, I don't recall seeing a spacer, and it's not
in my bolt bag. This had been out at least once or twice before, so it
may have got lost. I can't find any dimensions for the spacer.
So, two questions:
1. How thick should it be? It's easy for me to make one, if I know
what size.
2. How important is it, anyway? There must be some clearance issues,
since the jam nut is in there too, but I don't want to wait until it's
back in the car to find out I need to fiddle and fettle to make it fit
right.
TIA,
Jeff Scarbrough
