I have located the Austin but need guidance."

I have a Haynes Manual for the Morris Ital (late version Marina):

The automatic gearbox was a Borg Warner model 65

Gear ratios:
1st             2.39:1
2nd             1.45:1
3rd             1.00:1
Reverse         2.09:1

I don't know if this is the same gearbox as the Austin Marina.
