MG Midget Austin Healey Sprite 1275 Ribcase Transmission Gearbox rebuilt 20

Description

Coming soon! Also coming soon, racing version close ratio straight cut gear unit!
MG Midget III or Austin Healey Sprite IV, rebuilt ribcase transmission. This the final version ribcase, fitted to 10CC and 1275 power units.  Excellent upgrade for early cars and Bugeye, this has the close ratio and heavy duty 35 degree gearset.  Recommended for all 1275 powered cars.
Transmission has been completely disassembled, solvent and pressure power washed, wire wheeled, examined for wear and damage, and reassembled. The laygear and reverse gear are in very good condition, 1st gear / second gear slider has some minor wear on the leading edges.
All the gear cones still have intact ceramic coating on the synchro surface and the engagement dogs have minimal wear
. Synchronizer baulk rings, layshaft bearings, input bearing, main case bearing, input to mainshaft bearing, rear seal and gaskets are all new.
No shifter or clutch fork is included. You will need a rib case specific shifter, so if you are upgrading from a smooth case, you will not be able to use the old shifter. You will need to install a rib case clutch release fork and use the release bearing which matches your clutch.  The remote shift extension tower does not have the switch for backup lamps, but the old unit is easily swapped. The gearbox is shipped dry, a fill of 1 quart of 10w30 motor oil must be added after installation of power unit.  Adding the oil before the driveshaft is installed will result in the oil running out of the tailshaft when the power unit is tilted for installation.
Local pick-up is welcomed.
