Re: Reverse Gear on a '74 TR6

[Chad Jester <triumph@terraworld.net>]

List,

Regarding the TR6 reverse question:  I have owned 5 low mileage orignal
TR6's (4-74's with under 25K miles,  and 1-76 with 20K miles).  NONE of
these cars had a step to get the trans into reverse....at least I never had
to lift the shifter!  There is a spring loaded detent in the shifter that
requires you to "pop" the shift lever over into reverse, but nothing that
requires lifting the lever....at least from CF17433U and up

Regards,

Chad
