Thanks for this video on the gearbox top Elin. It was a great help to sort out the shifter interlock mechanism. I did however have to fabricate a special tool to remove the lock pin to the 1st & 2nd gear selector. Full marks to you.
I own a 1972 TR6 that I now need to repair the gearbox. Your vids on the GT6 and TR6 transmission repair is going to help immensely. Thank you very much!
New to your channel, Elin. Loving your work on both body (66 GT6 series) and this on mechanicals. Your the first person to effectively explain how a manual 4-speed shift selector mechanism works for me. And boy did it need some explaining!
Great videos, takes all kinds of talent. I have been fortunate to come across a 1975 and this if perfect for me to get it back on the road. I love that you're from Southern Ontario too. Been really happy with the Canadian channels...
Good to hear you are getting to work on your own car soon Elin, a friend of mine turned his hobby into a paid venture and he didn't enjoy it the same after that as it changed the dynamic.
I knew a guy who was a retired Navy Engineer who's hobby was motorcycles. So he opened a shop in Halifax repairing bikes and when I asked him how much fun he was having repairing bikes, he said "never make your hobby your living too" because it ruined his enjoyment of motorcycles.
Your very good at explaining your process. As I’ve said before, your command of English is excellent. From your accent I don’t think your from Canada 😎
Hope you were able to fix your mistake easily….I was hoping you were going to catch it before you lock tighted in the bolts. I’m pretty sure you know this, but if you think the fasteners have been lock tighted in, you can use some heat to help release the bond.
That looked as tricky as wiring up an AC power distribution board unit wearing a blindfold inside an unlit coal cellar. Then you think about the people who designed it ! Wow.. They were definitely out to get us eh !..
I very often think of them. The fact that nowadays the cars are so complicated doesn’t mean we are smarter. Those engineers didn’t have computers and software. They were very smart people!!!
@@RustyBeauties Couldn't agree more Elin.. I'm 72 and remember the day's before computers, smartphones and the internet. I knew a bloke who worked for Haynes Manuals . All those drawings in the workshop manuals were done by hand .. Then, as you say, there were the guys that designed and built the stuff.
We have had some pretty hot days lately here in southerner Ontario, did you have a fan in the garage? That's a lot of small springs and balls, good job keeping them all contained in the basket on the bench.
Because you show and tell when you make an error, it gives me the confidence to try to repair these kind of problems!! Thank you!

Hi Elin, thanks a lot for this tutorial from Amsterdam, great and take care of the leg. Bye eric
What a lot of little parts for the shifting mechanism. Thanks for taking us along.
Looking forward to seeing the gt6. I learned a lot about bodywork for my car by watching your gt6 videos.
Thx great video Elin
Thanks for the great video Elin. Very informative

Enjoying all the videos but looking forward to getting back to the gt6, I'm sure you are as well.
Elin, let me know via the thumbnail when you get back to doing your own Gt6. Keep well buddy 🙏🏻🇬🇧
very interesting how your vice is mounted to your work bench
😂 I will fix it one day…. When I am not busy…. So never 😂

Thanks! I am From Bulgaria. Moved to Canada 9 years ago

Believe me, I tried that. Welding a bolt to it was a decision made after an hour of fight
Elin it was painful to watch you complete the assembly knowing that you had to strip it again to correct the spacer issue! Kind regards, Richard.
LOL. It is what it is. I fixed it and it actually didn't take that long. You will see in the next video. Coming soon :)
I have a 74 non overdrive I'm trying to install a overdrive. What do I need for the mounts?

Elin, did you ever make a transmission rebuild video?
Not on a TR6. I have a GT6 transmission rebuild playlist on my channel. It is similar, but still different. It can give you an idea though.
Use a 5/16 8pt snap-on socket for the rod bolts, it will save you ruining the bolt heads
A deep 12-point 3/8 socket on a ratchet and extension worked for me
We have had some pretty hot days lately here in southerner Ontario, did you have a fan in the garage? That's a lot of small springs and balls, good job keeping them all contained in the basket on the bench.
Yes, I had a fan running and a cold beer in the fridge :)
@@RustyBeauties Looks like we have some fall weather now, thanks for replying. Wrench on.
