Agree with Roger
If you’re going to specialist s then at least 2K.

Hi Richard, as you say - progress - well done.
Now you don't want to put it all back without having solved your issues.
re the overdrive relay, my experience with a pattern part original was that it lasted about 6 weeks, so I then bought a modern, black cube, 30amp, it sits well out of site on the TR4 anyway, couple or quid or so, its into its second decade. We can help with fitting and how the numbers correspond to the original relay markings.
That would be my starting point on the overdrive issue, and remember 80% of O/D problems are electrical!
Now as regards the G/B Rattle. I would remove the propshaft, remember to mark the flanges, punch mark, chisel mark or blob of paint, so they go back the same way,
Now you can start the car, run up through the gears, and try to find this annoying rattle, whilst stationary in th
e garage, with the doors open!
BE VERY CAREFUL, NOT TO GO ANYWHERE NEAR, OR PUT YOUR HAND ANYWHERE NEAR THE REVOLVING FLANGE. But you could for example get to the rattle point on the throttle, and gently push down on the top of the gear lever, does it go away or change note? Also does the lever feel strange or floppy? There is a large conical spring under the retaining cap of the gearlever. maybe its broken? Also does the clutch feel the same? or just depressing the clutch make any difference to the rattle or vibration?
Finally, for now, when you swop relays, you can of course also test the O/D Operation, with the car like this before you reconnect the prop, you can probably feel the O/D Kick in when its working, but just to be sure, remember not to watch the rev counter when engaging, but rather the speedo, there is no load on the drive train, so the revs won't drop, but the speedo will noticeably rise. If the O/D comes in - great if not, there are other adjustments and things we can do, just get back to us.

Missing "anti rattle" plunger & spring ?
Bob
Would be my thoughts also.
point is Richard that’s a simple enough check/repair with only needing to remove the
transmission tunnel.
Could you do that? And if not is there someone in your local group would lend a hand.

Hi Richard,
what exactly is your gearbox doing?
I'd have a think through on this, before you go whipping your gearbox out
and shipping it off for whats likely to be £2k ish worth of work. The only thing common to all the gears is the gearlever. When you say all gears does this include reverse, and is it the same with the engine off?

Unless you’re going to do it correctly, by having the holes filled and sprayed. I’d leave it with the existing mirrors as lots of TRs have those mirrors, if your like me you wouldn’t be happy with grommets just painted.

Yes especially as you plan to use spacers.
My choice would be as Triumphs was 165 x 15 on 4.5 inch rims.
Incidently think I have some spacers from back in the days I ran wires,

Thanks Stuart
putting the tub back on a new, to this car, replacement chassis so it’s all to be worked out from scratch
John
-
That’s a colossal amount of grease to end up there.
If the car is a solid axle then not too onerous to pull the driveshaft and change both the oil seal and if needed bearing.just undo lock tabs and six bolts on the back keep all the shims in the same order
my money would be on over enthusiastic greasing of the nipple on the end of the axle
what’s the other side like?

I've seen this here before, but have tried and cant now find it.
Anyone rattle off the body tub back onto the chassis sequence?
I'm thinking must start with the four square body mounts to outriggers?

Hi Emrys,
I have altered the title of your thread to, hopefully find you better targeted replies, and
to help other posters in the future.
I do hope this is OK with yourself?
Regards
John.

You going to do it again, Tim?

Just so Rob, and if your insurance company don't know about them, you ain't covered!

He does say in his question John..."Hi, I wonder why my TR6 clutch snatch when engaging?" I missed it myself initially.

Thanks Mick

If just started is it a new clutch?
Is snatch a single event as the pedal is raised or does it feel like it is jerking as the pedal comes up?
If new clutch then consider the dowel bolts that locate the engine and gear box have not been fitted
Lubrication has been covered above.
my thoughts exactly

Just wondering, do the addition of solar panels And
allied batteries in the loft increase house buildings and contents insurance by much?
John

Pretty much agree with all the negative comments here, and I think that in years to come, we,ll come
to see that parts availability for our cars, some quality issues aside, was pretty good.
