Westy Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi all, Can anyone recommend someone to recondition the gearbox of my TR4A? I live in South Bucks, near High Wycombe. I am pretty sure the problem is the syncromesh gear as the the gearbox baulks when I try and put it into second but eases off after 5 or 6 miles. I have heard that it's difficult to get quality spare parts (Enginuity mentioned that they need to buy 10+ spares to get one within the right tolerances). I am happy to remove the gearbox out and put it back in again - just need someone who knows their way around these gearboxes and is trustworthy. I heard there is someone in Wallingford? Any advice / suggestions welcome. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mk1PI Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 James Shackford at TR Enterprises knows them inside out - bit far tho' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Pete Cox - he's been fixing TR gearboxes for over 42 years, he has lots of gearbox and overdrive stuff on the Technicalities CD, and he ran a technical seminar at Harrogate (I know at least one person who watched was gobsmacked at his knowledge and the speed at which he worked). I imagine you could drop the box at Moss's west London operation, as Pete goes there every week for a couple of days. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny250 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ian, Do you know if there any progress with the release of video footage taken at the demos at Harrogate? I saw Stuarts (excellent) demo, but missed Pete Cox. john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Mike Papworth is in Coventry, if that's not too far. mikepapworth@btopenworld Single handed, small workshop, excellent work. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 John, As I was involved with TR4@50, I missed the seminars (would have enjoyed them) and was unaware they had been filmed. You'll have to enquire of the Office. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
