    GT6 GT6 Stiff Gear Selection

    Hi guys, I've got a GT6 MK3 1971. I was having clutch and gearshift issues. It was creeping forward with the clutch down and sometimes failed to engage at all. The car had a recent rebuild when I bought it, but I think a few problems had been missed, or began as a result of said rebuild. I...

    On a slope, cannot get the car into gear.

    I recently bought a '76 and I noticed when I'm on ramps (engine raised) or now on a slope in a parking lot, that I cannot get it into gear. I ended up coasting backwards to gain speed, and turned the car around to face down slope. Then it went into gear easily. This car was supposedly restored a...

    TR4/4A Flywheel... Lightened or Stock, that is the question

    I have a 1963 TR4 that I am rebuilding the engine from the block up. I have a new Findanza aluminium flywheel. I am increasing the bore to 87mm, and installing a very mild cam, otherwise it is a stock engine. What are the pros and cons of the lighter flywheel?
