- Dear all: I had the opportunity to go for a spin in a moss box-equipped car yesterday (no, not a +4, in this case it was a '64 e-type) and have a few questions... --is first gear a straight cut? In t

- When I first got my +4 some years back, I had the same problem shifting into second from first. A change to Red Line MTL solved it. The Moss box (at least mine) is very particular about the oil you

- First gear is straight cut and usually has a chipped tooth or two from being jambed into first on the roll. The synchro rings are pressed into the gear cluster and not readily removable. This is much

- Yes first gear in the Moss box is straight cut on the older E-types as well as on the Morgan +4s. It is also not uncommon for second gear synchro to be shot and I don't believe you can just replace

- Yep, sounds like a Moss box to me! I always double clutch up (and down) into second - you get better with practice. The real cute effect is to change gear without the clutch - just get the revs right

- I agree; changing gears without the clutch provides great satisfaction. To me, there used to be (past tense because the +4 has been "laid up" longer than I like to think) this fear that there would

- Best to use engine oil! Though there is some debate as to whether engine oil is best for the Moss Box (I use it), the Laycock-de-Normanville overdrive DEMANDS it and the overdrive unit shares its oil
