The feedback/input will be interesting
I run stock GT trans and I have it gone through when the motor is out, like
every couple years, I think the first time it was pretty beat, cracked gear,
worn layshaft, this was from previous owner's work or abuse. Since then just
tightening up, seals and syncros, just because, when it's out.?

Seeing the recent discussion on Type A Overdrive I thought I?d take advantage
of this great knowledge resource and ask opinions on restoring my street GT6 OD
that failed last year (worn out basically) versus abandoning the triumph set up
for a T9 retrofit while still available.?
What is anyone?s experience with regard to longevity of a Type A overdrive.
?This is my simplest, lower cost solution (about $800) versus the T9 swap at
about $4000
Additionally I need to get my Track Car also a GT6 up to snuff. ?I understand
there may be an option of having someone restore and upgrade ?the current
triumph 4 speed versus me purchasing the T9. ?In this case reliability and
operability are more important to me than keeping the car period correct. I
can?t afford the time or money to repeatedly swap out a weak transmission
that?s prone to failure like a stock box.?
Advice and Opinions most welcome.?
Thanks everyone?
