MG did use the Triumph engine and tranny, but there is one (at least)
difference between the transmissions. I'm not talking about the rear
mount or the exhaust hanger bracket. This is an actual difference and
is in either the bellhousing, gearbox or extension/shifter housing.
Does anyone know what this difference is? Let's make it a puzzler!
HINT: there may be an error in the wording of Ken's post which could lead
you to the solution.
