Revised First Gear Ratio- TR-6


August, 1973

A revised first gear ratio was introduced on the TR-6 gearbox, changing the ratio from 3.14:1 to 2.99:1. This ratio change was effected by replacing the 33-toothed first gear on the mainshaft with a 32-toothed gear, and similarly, the 16-toothed first gear on the countershaft with a 17-toothed gear.

The gears concerned are directly interchangeable as matched pairs only. Details of part number changes are as follows:
