on my 1976 Triumph TR6 when shifting I get a little grinding as it goes into gear 2nd,3rd mainly. I just rebuilt the gearbox and installed a new clutch about 700 miles ago. When its cold 2nd gear is worst, then when its warmed up 2nd rear works and 3rd gear seems to grind, unless I shift slowly. Is this just tight syncros that were replaced in the rebuild. On the first few shifts of the day when I depress the clutch in all the way it doesn't go into gear until I start letting the clutch back out. Its like the syncro is lined up just slightly wrong and then when I start letting the clutch back out it lets it align and slip in. any ideas? Thanks Tim
Sounds like a sychro problem when you rebuilt. I have always found with my gearbox, even when warm it is easy to beat the sychros so i make slower changes. Unless you fix the sychro rings the problem will only get worse

1968 MGC GT 4 speed with O/D Engine running, vehicle out of gear and with the foot off the clutch, there is quite a rumbling noise. Depress the clutch and the whole thing goes wonderfully quite? Is this the idler bearing on the first motion shaft starting to fail or the trust/clutch release bearing going?

Can the body of a Triumph TR4 1962 be taken off the chassis without dismantling it to repair outriggers and rust to chassis. There is a lot of rust on the chassis and a couple of the outriggers are missing. The car was tidied up last year and we didn't want to dismantle it if possible. We would also like to look at the gearbox whilst we have the body off.
