Very useful, and great exercise to push the car around the paddock, as I had a Tilton double disc clutch!

> 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.
