Can't help specifically with a transmission specialist, but the
transmission in a Midget 1500 is the same as the one in a Spitfire 1500 so
you may want to hang around some Spitfire owners.
Regarding a 5 speed, try finding an overdrive transmission from a Spitfire.

Subject: [Mgs] Question about MG 1500 cc Midget transmisins and
differetials
Does anyone know of a transmission specialist for a 1979 Midget (1500?)
Supposedly they are different from other Midgets....according to my friend
who
owns one, he's having a heck of a time with his (see below)
To all,
Madge, my 1500 cc MG Midget has a transmission problem. It has a very
noisy
1st gear. I do have a spare transmission, but, before I embark on a major
undertaking, since itbs already out of the car I'd like to have it checked
out
and attended to, if necessary. Before swapping it into my Midget!
Would you (anyone) happen to know somebody (anyone) in the business? As
long as we are on the subject, I also have a noisy differential. Same
question.
Thanks,
Radu
P.S. I considered the 5-speed route, almost ordered one (Pierce Manifolds
here and Frontline Spridgets in the UK are the only ones that carry MG
Midget
1500 5-speed kits), changed my mind at the last minute. I really don't
need
to go 80 mph ALL the time. Truly 70 is fine. Specially uphill ;-)
Send me the name of the Transmission specialist via this list. I'll make
sure my friend gets it!
Thanks.
