- With the parts for the Moss transmission getting very hard to find and very expensive, has anybody ever played with replacing the Moss transmission with something else? I've got a friend in DC area t

- I seem to recall reading somewhere that members of the Morgan Sports Car Club in the UK had figured out how to fit a 70's Toyota Celica 5 speed into a plus four in place of the Moss box. I know there

- Strange, I've been pondering the same thing. I think the key is finding a trans with a removable bellhousing so it can be installed using the Moss box bellhousing. I haven't done any measuring yet,

- Hi John. "My" mechanic has experimented with a Volvo gearbox on the Morgan +4. The box is a bit smaller, so he has to modify it slightly to make it fit. It has full syncro and seems more than solid e

- Plus 8 to a 5-speed box out of a V-6 Buick Skyhawk(A Borg-Warner,I think) The only shortcoming was that he lost his handbrake-no room-but it transformed the car, making highway cruising in overdrive

- One of the 5 speeds that has been recommended for retrofitting to the 4/4 is the box out of the Merkur XR4Ti. (I think this list had a thread on it about a year ago) The real problem is finding one

- Wish I could find a readily available (read:cheap) 5-speed that A firm here in the land of Oz makes cast alloy bell housing which enable you to bolt up a 5 speed Toyota Celica box to the Kent engine.

- I'm not sure the Merkur XR4Ti box is a good idea. We owned an XR4, a nice car but the gearboxes in them are not reliable. Some XR4Ti owners are replacing the 5 speed with a box from Mustangs. Ken Pay
