[6pack] [TR] TR6 counter shaft

[DLylis at aol.com]

Hmmm, maybe I am wrong here.  In the history of the TR tranny three  types of 
countershaft bearings were used.  Needle, Shell, and Caged.   I believe that 
the needle is the earliest and that is the loose bearing that  needs to be 
held in place with grease while the tranny is assembled.  Next  is shell bearings 
in which the bearing rides on the shaft and the outer surface  of the bearing 
is completely enclosed.  The later is caged bearings which,  look like a 
cage, in which the bearing in exposed in the inner and outer  surface.  The names 
are very descriptive.
I am under the impression that all ride directly on  the countershaft.  My 
experience has been with early trannys;  therefore needle and shell but am 
familiar with caged  bearings. 
 
If this is wrong help me out here.
 
Thanks
