The Carlisle Import Kit/Replicar Nationals 2009 is our destination but it’s the camaraderie of the club that is remembered throughout the year!
by Stu Brennan OH #+%!;!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN!! I’m selling this piece of junk, shifter and all!! I had just pulled my Tiger’s shift lever from first to neutral. The sound and feel were not normal, but they were all too familiar. The shift lever snapped into the neutral position but was not locked in (more…)
by A. Wcjtowicz If you have considered changing the rear end gears in your Tiger for faster starts and more acceleration, you might be interested to know one of the other possibilities. The standard ratio Tiger rear is a tall 2.88:1. With 13″ wheels this ratio gives a nice cruising speed with relatively low engine (more…)
by Tom Stoyle in the March 2003 RootesReview Maybe some of you members out there are experiencing the same problem that I did. That problem happened to be fatigued rear springs. My car sat too low in the rear even without a load and that made for poor roadability when loaded with two persons and (more…)
Author unknown My 1965 Tiger Mk I locks in gear, the shifter won’t move. It usually happens in city traffic when shifting up and down several times. All at once it just locks up, but I believe it’s almost always in 3rd gear. I usually just coast to a stop with clutch in or continue (more…)

by Rich Bakula If you are experiencing hard shifting, I suggest that you first try flushing and refilling the clutch hydraulic system preferably with silicone brake fluid (lowest moisture absorption and highest operating temperature). Also, check that the clutch hydraulic line is routed well clear of the exhaust system and that it is free of (more…)
by Keith Bettencourt Have you ever wished for one more gear in your Tiger? After you have pulled out onto the freeway, accelerated up to cruising speed, do you have to turn the radio up because you can’t hear over the exhaust? Do you come home from trips tired and with your ears ringing? Would (more…)
by Robert Kittredge All Ford and Tiger books I’ve seen say to check the level and fill if necessary. One tech tip contributor writes that after 12,000 miles on his Tiger, it became difficult to get it into any gear before the engine warmed up. After noting that the transmission oil had never been changed, (more…)
by Robert Kittredge I had read about using RUG-E gears on the early Tiger HEH-E main shaft in order to eliminate the “stumble” start when the HEH-E tranny was used with the lower rear-end ratios. This sounded like a good idea, especially when I located a RUG-E from a ’67 Mustang. Preliminary inspection did not (more…)
