Sadly the HF 2 1/4 ton floor jack (model 4172) I use to lift my TR6 won't stay up. I assume the seal is leaking, because when I pump the handle the saddle moves up only slightly then falls immediatel

Hi Scot, I had a similar problem until I replaced the engine and transmission mounts. Until then, a jack and block of wood under the engine should provide just enough room to allow you to get the bel

Well, that speedo and tach do not match the other gauges (which look original). So there is no reason to believe this TR6 has only 30,048 miles, because the odometer/speedo is clearly not from this c
