I can answer one of your questions regarding 'dropping' the TR4-6 Tranny into
TR3. There is a dimensional difference.
The later all synchro gear boxes were about 5/8" longer, than the TR3, due to
the addition of the fourth synchro position.
I allowed for this by redrilling the rear mounting plate. There is enough
movement in the splined driveshaft to take it up.
Some folks have forced the engine/transmission into position, but it puts an
awful lot of stress on the three mounts. :-)

<< Amici,
Although I am still reeling from trying to absorb all the great information
from the bearing/brake thread, I have a gap in my gearbox knowledge I need
help resolving. >>
