Good point.
Seems like there were only two or three 'ribs' or 'corrugations'
showing so I wonder if maybe part of it broke off. Maybe fell down
town into the case? It's rubber, though, so shouldn't hurt anything.
Right?
Overall I was pleased with what I saw. Some bondo work in the past of
course but no flakes of rusty metal falling off. The pan and all
looked pretty good from down below.
Rubber pretty consistently bad though: brake lines, steering boots,
clutch actuator boot. Tires OK fortunately except for needing lots of
weights and splines surprising good.
I can't wait for a club meeting when I can let some experts look it
over and critique it.

Absolutely. Also make sure that it has the channel still cast in the
rubber of the boot to seal to the opening of the trans. housing.

I finally had a chance to slide under my '77MG last night. I saw that
there is a rubber boot on the side, apparently where the clutch
actuator enters the transmission case, and that this boot is not
attached or sealed to the transmission case. It appears basically
intact, but it just moves back and forth with the actuator. Shouldnt
the base of this boot be pushed into the transmission case to seal the
hole?
