Subject: [TR] TR4 gear selector

From: Allen Hess <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:56:55 -0400

I’m wondering if there is enough clearance to remove the gear selector from the transmission with transmission in the car. 4A and 6 are likely the same. 
Allen 

Very belated update on rear dampers. Put in 10W motorcycle fork oil and I’m satisfied with the result. I was afraid it might be too soft but not so.

Many years ago when I rebuilt this transmission, I put new springs in the sy=
nchro hubs and selector shafts. The shifting effort was greater than the ori=
ginal transmission it replaced. So I want to check the release load on the s=
elector shafts (I can=E2=80=99t say that I have never made a mistake). If it=
=E2=80=99s the synchro springs the I=E2=80=99ll just live with it.=20
