- Check with British Motorsports in Campbell. They may have a good used or rebuilt tranny in stock. I bought lots of parts from them when we lived up there and never had a problem. Regards, Dave Ambro

- Does anyone know where can you get a pilot bush to adapt a late 3 synchro MGB box to an early (3-main) crankshaft? I've heard of MGA owners making this switch, but I'm not sure how its done. -- Chris

- Bummer, man. Just a thought -- are you sure it isn't the clutch losing pressure? That can make it tough to shift gears. Probably not, though... Mike O'Connor probably still has my old 3-synchro trann

- Well ... as others have mentioned, fitting the small input shaft shaft tranny (3-main) to a later (5-main) engine is accomplished by purchasing/machining a specialized bushing ... but, I don't think

- At least consider rebuilding it yourself. They are pretty easy if they aren't too badly torn up. All you need is a basic tool kit, a Haynes manual, and a vise and a hammer if you are careful, but a p

- Another Option is to sign up for John Twists winter transmission rebuild seminar. This involves spending a few days at John's shop in Michigan and rebuilding your transmission under his supervision.
