    For Sale Excellent Original 1968 TR250 Frame with Engine & Transmission

    Excellent frame from a 1968 TR250. I did an all out restoration on the car and put in a new RATCO frame. I would highly recommend using this frame over repair or replacing with a RATCO frame. $2500 with very good engine and transmission.

    TR4/4A Automatic transmission in a TR4 A

    I know this is considered blasphemy in our world, but a friend of mine has a TR4 A but due to leg problems can no longer depress the clutch pedal. So I was wondering if the automatic transmission from the Stag could be used in the TR4 A. Also whether anyone out there has done this? Thanks, Dan

    TR4/4A Transmission seals that do?

    I'm thinking about resealing my 4-speed and I've gone down this road before. I have replaced the front and rear seal and they last a while before weeping, but the selector shaft o-ring seals never do well. I have found a few threads that hit this a bit, but I'd like to do it right this time and...
