1972 GT6 - Part 96 - Final assembling and testing

After solving all internal issues of the transmission and overdrive, let's put them together, rebuild the shifter mechanism and last but not least test the unit... Exciting!

Happy New Year Elin. Great to see you making progress on your GT6. I have already been out for a drive in my TR6. First one of 2025. 23 degrees here today and perfect TR weather. (Melbourne, Australia)

Happy New Year! Can't wait to see the engine come back to life. The rebirth of "Anna". :-) 2025 will be a great year for you!

Happy new year Elin, I’ll be doing this job myself on my Herald 3 rail gearbox early next year, so a very timely video. 😊 keep up the good work, the Triumph community worldwide is very lucky to have your channel (I am in uk) Thanks man 👍

Happy new year!
I seem to recall a clip under the shifter ball as well. I can have a look if you need.

I made those bushings out of a round piece of nylon and two fender washers. I had to 'machine' the nylon to the correct bore size and outer diameter (chucked up in my drill and reshaped with my grinder and then sandpaper), the holes in the washers drilled out large enough for the metal sleeve. Gotta use what you have 😂

In the U.K. we call (that little metal key that locks the cam) a Woodruff key.

Elin, 11:37 mins into this video you mention you could not find an oil seal for early Triumph bell housing Seal upgrade idea. On my 69 Spit it seems to be 15/16" or .9375" ID, there appears to be many on the US market. I like your idea but wondering what I'm missing ? I also contemplated using a sealed bearing on the output shaft but that has proven harder to find with the circlip that restricts its depth.

I could smell rubber burning from your pulley from here in Oz
