[Mgs] transmission switches

Thu Jun 19 08:03:14 MDT 2008

In the July/Aug '99 issue of MGB Driver there was a reprint of Leyland's
MGBGT V8 shop manual supplement that showed how to install the transmission
crossbrace WITHOUT needing to cut any holes in the crossbrace.

Ed, have you made the modification to the transmission crossmember that
allows you to tighten the bolts on the transmission? Basically,
you drill 2 holes through the crossmember to allow you to pass a socket
through to the bolts.

Mark,

Thanks for the drawings of the transmission mounting and remote shifter
assembly.

The step by step removal/replacement instructions for the transmission
mount/X member were invaluable, especially the part about starting the rear

transmission bolts before offering up the X member.
