Re: [Mgs] Question about MG 1500 cc Midget transmissions and

[mark.jones@exxonmobil.com]

Hi Richard,

You certainly could be right, although there is no difference in the
overall length of an overdrive or non-overdrive transmission, they both use
the same driveshaft.  Of course there is the width of the overdrive unit to
contend with, which may fetch-up in the Midget's transmission tunnel.  The
other problem being that Spitfires with overdrive were not common in N.A.
so they are a bit hard to find.  I was lucky to find a Spitfire with
overdrive.

..."Regarding a 5 speed, try finding an overdrive transmission from a
Spitfire"...

I believe the Spitfire transmission doesn't fit when an overdrive is
attached.  Otherwise MG would have offered that as an option when new.
Maybe some folk out there have found a way to make it fit, I have no
idea!
