Sorry if I have got the wrong thread here but I assume that you are 
discussing the fitting
of 'flat' profile roller thrust bearings in TR gearboxes.

If so then Racetorations in the UK do the mod, but for a TR4 box some 
fairly difficult
machining is required.

However their customers seem well pleased with the results and the boxes 
have stood
up well to racing use.

 From memory I think the cost is around 800 UK Pounds for a fully recon box 
with all the mods.
