[Mgs] MGB transmission

[Jim Juhas]

Early MGB 3-synchro transmissions have some interest among MGA owners 
who want to upgrade the 2nd gear (I think) synchro.  Mine has that 
upgrade from the last rebuild at Quantum Mechanics.  But 4-synchro units 
seem to be worth little.  I have two that I don't need.
