It seems there were three evolutions of the bellhousing design with the
final having more substantial webbing between the housing and the main body
of the case. I've broken the earlier ones from nothing more the torsion in
the driveline. The latter has survived intact for two seasons.
If you can find the late case I think you'd be better off.
Later,
Chip

Subject: Gearbox Info Needed
I have (had) a TR4 or TR4A Overdrive Gearbox that was in the TR3A crash.
When I took the engine and transmission out of the car it came out in two
pieces without removing any fasteners. Get the picture? Broke the bell
housing all of the way around.
Uncle Jack has a gear box housing from a TR4 Non-Overdrive that might be
used as a donor.
The OD and Non-OD cases are interchangeable...right?
He also has a TR4 input shaft....mine had the pilot diameter broken
off....anything to watch for here.?
Thanks....
Joe
