Re: Engine or gearbox removal - easiest way!
8 years ago I installed my 5 speed using the vendors direction to remove the gearbox from inside. I would never do that again. Taking the engine out is a piece of cake compared to the toeboard, throttle linkage, etc. My .02.

Re: TC transmission removal
I removed the transmission from the inside without removing the engine when I installed the Datsun 5-speed. I would NEVER to that again. Pulling the engine and then dropping the transmission is easy compared than removing most of the interior and especially the toe board. IMHO.

Re: TC charging problem
Nigel, The first thing I would do is try to find a old time analog voltmeter and see what you get. Just this week I was helping a friend with a charging problem on his TR3. He had a fancy digital meter that was going crazy with all the electrical noise in the TR. Using my 40+ year old analog meter s...

Re: Coolant Recovery System
Thanks Jim, for that article. I added this to my TC a few days ago and as some folks up in the NE area would say... It works pissa. Totally invisible from above which was a problem for me for most of the other DIY versions I've seen
Thanks again,
Dave

Re: Fuel Sending Unit Gasket
I've had good luck using Hylomar with Doug's gasket. Both times I've used it I had no leaks.

If I remember correctl...

Re: Driveshaft Dilema
I can't tell from your original post if you removed the driveshaft using the flanges at each end or just at the rear end. If you didn't disconnect the driveshaft using the sliding joint then whatever phasing you had should still be intact. Do you have the sliding joint at the front of the driveshaft...

Re: Driveshaft Dilema
Check that the u-joints are in phase. Be sure that the yolks are aligned correctly.
