I miss the 70's where you could find TRs in junkyards and get a good engine and transmission for cheap. My brother's TR4 that he bought with a blown engine was put back on the road with a junkyard engine and transmission. Good luck with your trans.
That's cool. I remember junk yards, but actually getting parts from them was a bit before my time. I remember walking around them with my grand pop looking for stuff, though!
@@roundtailrestoration Yeah, I'm old. I probably had a chat with your Grand Pop while pulling parts. I still go to junkyards with my wife to get parts for my son's Hyundai.
Great video mate hopefully we dont need to pull our box apart on the spitfire me and the daughter are doing, but love vids like this as its so much better to see it than just some paperwork.
I seem to recall Elin Yakov showing that difficult to remove split ring. He ended up damaging it, but said that is typical and almost unavoidable, so he always always replaces with a new one.
Thanks, Alan. Yes, I watched a few videos by both Elin and Cheftush. I finally got them off both gearboxes...think I came up with a new way, too, or at least one I haven't seen someone try. No snapring pliers, just a few screwdrivers and a hammer.
Good video Chris. Do you have a link for that information sheet from greasy hands. I looked on the site and couldn’t find it. I suspect I’m not that tech savvy lol. Thanks again for the video.
Hiya. Try this one: vintagetriumphregister.org/maintenance/. It's hosted by the VTR, so I'm not sure if you need to be a member to access. Scroll down to get to the gearbox listing and it's the last several links. If you can't access them, email me at roundtailrestoration66@gmail.com and I'll send them to you.

@@michaelstoliker971 Ha! I don't know about that. I think he would be about 113 now.

Thanks! I did a Spitfire gearbox several years ago. About the same, just smaller. Good luck and thanks for watching!
That does look like a real struggle , I hope you become successful at it. Take care!
Thanks, Barry!
