MG MGB Technical - Gearbox & Overdrive

Hello,

I am just about to re-install my gearbox and overdrive to my 1971 mgb. As I took over an incomplete restoration I have no idea about the condition of either of these units or how they ran before the car was stripped down.

Does anyone know where I can get both of these units checked over? Ideally around the midlands area. Do these units tend to be reliable? Is there anything i should check for?

Many thanks
Alex Davies

Hi Alex,
Cannot help you with where to get them checked over but yes they are reliable. Most probs. with the overdrive tends to be from items leading to it. (connections etc.)
You could change the oilseals and the O rings in the overdrive. Not to difficult as you have the units out.
