The legend handed down to me was that it was the factory's attempt to cure a
buzzing of the gearshift lever under some circumstances. Don't know if
that's true or not, but I've seen the same arrangement on another 63 TR4, a
parts car I bought many years ago just to get the OD.
Sorry, it's all long gone, except the OD which now resides in my TR3A daily
driver.
