The HVDA Toyota 5 speed conversion kit is required. Also a W85 Toyota 5 speed
Transmission, they are from the 1985-87 Toyota Celica, and or Supra ... make
sure you don't get the Truck one.
Herman Van Den Akker is the only source for the conversion kit. His website
is:
http://www.hvdaconversions.com/products.html
I used this kit on both our TR6 and TR3 ... had a little trouble with the TR3
installation, Herman drove up from the LA area, and showed me the correct way
to fix it. The hydraulic clutch bearing eliminates the Triumph slave cylinder
and works great. You can't do better than dealing with Herman, give him a
call he will answer ...
