			<link>http://spitfireinformationexchange.yuku.com/topic/4300/t/Tranny-and-Diffy-oil-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Well, drained the oil out of the transmission, no metal parts came out. Jumped on the bike to get some GL-4 oil as everyone says to use. Now, I cannot find
any, anywhere. Now GL-5 is everywhere, but it is said to corrode the brass/copper parts.
<br>
<br>
So, I have read that synthetic<font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ff00">s will let the synchros slip (thin oil). So, has anyone used a dual blend of synthetics
and oil? Also, has anyone used GL-5 with success? I have noticed that the bottles... ]]></description>

no problem.  In 3rd, 4th gear, however, it would lurch and die.  I could coast to the side of the road, restart it, make it a while, sometimes making it up
into 4th for a while but ususally having it bog down, lurching a little  for affect.   Even after it died, I could get it started and run in 1,2 gear all day.

has the boot/flexable end. I know that the OD drive shaft is abit shorter due the length of the tranny. Do I need to find or buy a special OD driveshaft or

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve had my 64 Spit for several years.  Just recently I have made it my daily driver.  I installed a new clutch, slave cylinder and a rebuilt transmission.
 1st and 2nd gear work just fine and sometimes so do 3rd and 4th.  But sometimes 3rd and 4th will slip if I give the engine to much gas.  The RPM go up but no
speed is gained.  If I accelerate slowly its fine.  How can I fix this?  What should I check first?

it was just repaired poorly? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey there guys (gals), new to the board and have a question.
<br>
I have a 71 GT-6 and the shifter feels loose and sloppy.
<br>
The retaining ring is there, but is there supposed to be something that holds it together underneath?
<br>
There seems to be a lot of movement up and down in the shift lever.
<br>
I don&#39;t remember the spitfire or the TR being this sloppy.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone have a good exploded view of the shifter?

First set. Ordered a pair, installed without any difficulty, and when I went to install the differential noticed that the steel pieces that were supposed to be

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve recently installed a Frontline 5-speed gearbox with clutch kit in my 78 Spitfire, which I&#39;ve been restoring.  The engine is out of the car. 
I&#39;ve also rebuilt the clutch master and slave cylinders (the bores were in decent shape).  I re-installed the slave cylinder in the new bellhousing adapter
plate which came with the kit so as to give what seems like a fairly normal range of motion on the release arm (it required shortening the rod that goes

			<link>http://spitfireinformationexchange.yuku.com/topic/4128/t/Early-overdrive-switch-placement-left-hand-drive-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I added OD to my Mk III quite some time ago. Like all early models, this is the column mounted switch setup...I used the Guide to Originality photo of a right
hand drive as a model and put the switch on the right side of the steering column. But at a recent car show (I got 2nd!) someone commented that on left hand
drives the OD switch should be mounted to the left.
<br>
Any thoughts as to the correct placement?

			<description><![CDATA[ Does a 1973 TR6 transmission and clutch have any components which can be used in a 1970 GT6+?  Specifically, the clutch release lever, release bearing and
sleeve.

What are the differences other than perhaps the bell housing, between a 1973 TR6 transmission and a standard 1970 GT6+ transmission and clutch?

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello, Maybe that someone can help me with my issue. The issue is that the clutch is making a metal scraping noise when the engine is getting warm. It
doesn&#39;t matter if I tough the pedal or not, the noise doesn&#39;t go away. I just replaced the release bearing and it&#39;s carrier a week ago. Can it be
plate spring or something?

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve noticed a noise coming from the back of the car that is a rotational noise like a thunk-thunk-thunk thats gets faster as i do.  Sounds like its coming
right from the middle of the car.  I&#39;m thinking drivshaft u-joint but could it be the differential?  I tried to grease it but the u-joint is so tight I
cant get the grease gun in there on the fitting to do it.  If it is the u-joint does it need to be replaced or do you think it just needs to be greased?

Due to the State pulling the funding for my former employer (and having to lay myself off), My Spit sat for most of the year last year needing a new fan
clutch. I was able to get it on the car at the end of last October. I got 2 laps around the block, and the clutch pedal dropped to the floor, with the car
stuck in 2nd. Luckily, I limped it home to the driveway, where it has sat all winter (no garage).
