[Fot] TR6 CR Gearbox

[Catpusher at aol.com]

Once alternate ratio gears were finally SCCA EP legal for the TR3, I  was 
lucky to get a set of the 1.88 first gears (see TR6 PCS page; these  were 
made for the USA TR6 factory cars, as we had rolling starts, unlike the  UK)  
With the 3.45 diff and 23" dia tires, I could do 78 MPH @ 7200.   Very 
useful, and great exercise to push the car around the paddock, as I had a  Tilton 
double disc clutch!
Pardon my long silence, I have been studying PTSD with help from the  VA.
 
TR Regards
Hardy

Message-ID:

Group  44 had a close ratio gear set made up for the TR-6.? Hardy Prentice 
used to  run it in his TR-3.? I believe the first gear was 1.88.? Depending 
on the  track and rear end gear you use, first gear may very well be 
usable.? I used  the Dolomite Sprint gear set, ordered from England.? It had a 2.19 
first gear,  which was rarely used on the tracks I was running in the  
Midwest.
