I rebuilt my TR4A top cover last year--with major help from this forum.
I set the pull weight for each shaft and installed new balls and plungers. In the case of 3rd/4th gear, as I recall, a ball was replaced by a plunger in later years, so I did that.
Everything is OK for now, so I think I did it all correctly, though is seems first is a bit hard to "slide into."
I have two questions: After I set the tension using those little screw fittings and a standard fishing scale, was I supposed to fill the adjusting hole above the screw with some sort of adhesive to make sure the screws wouldn't vibrate back up? I just can't remember what I did there, but I "believe" I just filled the voids with Permatex Red.
Also, since Moss shows balls or, alternatively, plungers for the 3rd/4th detent from model to model in the later cars in the TR4 series, but since the shafts are unchanged in the TR4 Series, am I correct that you can use either the ball or the plunger but that the plunger eventually was deemed better to avoid slipping out of gear?
