  • This happens to be a 73 TR6 with a J-type overdrive which had issues, but I talk about A-type as well and most importantly I give you a tip how to narrow the problem down to electrical or mechanical as this is pretty hard to determine sometimes.

    Great troubleshooting! There is no substitute for a good workshop manual and schematics.
    Elin, I noticed the the temp gauge seemed to be rather high. It seemed to be high after you turned the engine off so perhaps the gauge is at fault.

    Excellent diagnostic work Elin. I'm a big fan of Deoxit D5. Stuff is pretty dear and available on Amazon but I use it in my shop and the stuff is Excellent. Bullet connections blow chunks. Lol. Love your videos. One of the few all around guys left. Thanks.

    Loved the way you dig through that snakes nest - a real buggers muddle. Lord save all car owners from tinkerers, and thank goodness there are knowledgeable and systematic people like you. Loved the vid. Cheers from New Zealand.

    Elin, I hope the new projects still deal with Triumph automobiles. Personally I couldn't care less about Miatas etc. Just my feeling about the matter. Love the channel just the way it is.

    Nice bit of logical troubleshooting Elin. speaking as an electronics engineer, which I have been all my working life, a bit of good quality contact cleaner (deoxit has been mentioned) and/or a touch of di-electric grease wouldn't go amiss for the longevity of that switch. Looking forward to all your up-coming projects.
