Crap to Cream, MX5 gearbox fitted to MGB 18V engine. Problem free ATM

Done this before, second engine, I was so impressed with fitting the MX5 gearbox to my 1978 MGB that I had to do this conversion to my second 1974 MG considering the issues and oil leaks I had with the original gearbox.
Going quite well at the moment.
This engine will also be having a VMax supercharger fitted which you will be seeing in other videos.

As also mentioned in the video I’m having some eye surgery next week which might obstruct my ability to progress the rebuild and install the refurbished engine for a couple of weeks. Hang in there, I’ll be back…….

Woo hu! Well done and good work. I have a Mazda gearbox in my MG BGT V8 that was built around five years ago and it works well. I have added a chrome tube to the gearstick to be more original than the black Vitesse version. I am sure that yours will do equally as well when it is all installed.

Interesting. I might try a diy version.

Washers on the clutch cover. Not to sure about that? Balance being one? Just a thought!
