[Fot] Fw: DEAR DOCTOR PHIL FOR TRIUMPHS..Technical psychological incentive info requested

[Joe Curry]

Bud,
When I first built Tiny Tim, I used a modified GT6 gearbox with a Spit
engine and aluminum flywheel.  I had a lot of troubles initially getting the
thing to work right.  In the end it turned out that there was contact
between the input shaft and the flywheel causing a grinding whine when I
engaged the clutch.  

I took the tranny out and installed it so many times trying to find the
source of the noise that I finally got to where I could have the thing on
the floor in 20 minutes all by myself.

So just roll up your sleeves and go for it.

Joe C.

Hah, the answer is no... the trans will not install by itself. I tried that
with my restore ;)
