David,

Like all things... It depends.

If it is from a early TR6 (up to 1973 not sure) that used the A-Type OD... 
your OK.  In that case everything will line up.  The input shaft on those TR6 
Gearboxes was a little shoter... they stand up straight without standing on 
the shaft end.  But list experts say you can use them without problems.

If it is from a post 1973 TR6 then it will have a J-Type OD which is fine 
expect that you will have to find a way to mate to the TR4A frame.  The J-Type 
uses a different mount and the mounting point is father along the unit.

Phil Brzozoski here on the list designed a simple set of adapter plates that 
lets you mount a J-Type in a car that is setup for an A-Type without cutting 
and welding.
