Actually, it's not a problem to practice on this transmission.
As Charlie mentions, it tends to grind a lot. But after 15 years
of very spirited grinding of my own, there was no noticeable
wear on gears or bearings when I took it in for a defensive overhaul
("Why exactly did you bring this transmission in?")
E Types are relatively available, pretty cheap, and represent
a future lifetime of work. Worth the trouble, if you ask me.
