CGP Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. I’m trying to find if anyone has experience of, or comments on the Moss 5 speed gearbox conversion. The latest version is Mazda based but thoughts on the Ford based would help too. Thanks Col Sorry, I should have added that this relates to a 1958 TR3A Edited February 1, 2022 by CGP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Col Sorry, I should have added that this relates to a 1958 TR3A Why would you? Cost of the conversion is more expensive than buying an overdrive box which would make a lot of difference to resale value plus nicer to use. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGP Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Thanks Stuart. The car is in South Africa and I just maintain it for the owner. It’s a balance between reliability, maintaining, the drive, etc, which is why I thought it best to post the question here. Access to spares and the like generates a few issues Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ralph Whitaker Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Nice car, strange front bumper. Is that standard fitting on South African TR3s, or has something from a different vehicle been adapted. Ralph PS. I like my saloon 4 syncro box with O/D on 3rd and 4th. Great for overtaking, snick into 3rd , pull out to overtake, into O/D and get another burst of acceleration without lifting off.

CGP Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thanks for the comments Ralph. It did have a front smack sometime before the current owner and I think this bumper was one adapted to fit during repair. Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites
