Is the Toyota swap similar to the one developed for the TR-6?
I can speak to the Toyota trans in a TR-6, and as good as the TR
transmission is, It's a no brainer. The Toyota 5 speed has it all over
the TR with OD. Better action, better ratios, and a usable 5th gear.
My only complaint is that the clutch operates as an "on/off" switch.

Subject: [Healeys] 3.54 differential questions
I have a question regarding differentials selection.
I currently run a 3.90 differential on a highly modified 3.2ltr BJ8 with
a
stock transmission. (late model BJ8). I use the car mostly around town
and
no so much Hiway.
I have in my garage a 4:11 as well as a 3:54 differential. I was
considering installing the 4:11 combined with a Smitty conversion but am
holding off on that for now though I will likely do the smitty next
year.
Question: when installing the 3:54 do you loose much low end
acceleration
around town? I like bombing around and don't want to turn my car into
a
cruiser.
What's everybody's experience?
My second question is about the smitty conversion..I have only heard
good
things about it...what gears are people running with the Toyota
transmission? How do you contact the person who took over from Smitty?
Thanks
paul
