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...- Writer2022

For Sale 72 TR6 clutch and transmission
I decided to replace my 72 TR6 4-speed transmission with the Miata 5-speed. The TR6 clutch and transmission worked flawlessly.

The Infamous 3-synchro MGB Transmissio
A Tale of Transmissive Tutelage Submitted by @DrEntropy This story takes place a few decades back, when we could find MG’s largely un-rusted and for affordable amounts of money. To be accurate it was late in 1972. As a Sergeant in the US Air Force and married to my college heart-throb for a...- DrEntropy

MGB Gearbox Selector Shaft Tensioning

TR2/3/3A Gearbox Countershaft Shim?
I read in the Green County Triumph gearbox rebuild guide that you can place a shim next to the distance piece to decrease countershaft end float so that it's between 6-10 mils (7-12 mils in the later manual). Is this really acceptable? It just seems like a 3-mil shim would wear over time and... -

I decided to replace all bearings with the best I could find. In other words no no-name ones. Bought them from Rimmers, TRF and a local... -

TR2/3/3A TR3 Gearbox Dipstick Question on oil level
Today, I drained my TR3 non-overdrive gearbox. I refilled it with 1.8 pints of oil (approx 3.5 cups). After a short drive I checked the level with the gearbox dipstick and nothing registered. There was no leak. Do I keep it at 1.8 pints or do I fill it until it reads on the dipstick? When I... -
