[Mgs] pulling engine and transmission

[dave]

Why am i doing this?This car had no reverse.  A week or so when i got it you could finagle it into reverse.   A few days later you could put it onto reverse if you turned off the engine.   Now it's darn near impossibleAnd, btw, gears 1-4 shift beautifully.   I even changed the oil,  which looked like honey coming out.   Since used trannies are so cheap I'm going to swap one out

It is written in paragraph text;  I type it out line by line, so I can check off what has been done.  Reassembly is the reverse of removal, of course, but working back up a list is far easier for me that sentence by sentence.    What has happened to require R&R of engine and gearbox in this prime driving season?BobOn Sep 15, 2021, at 1:21 PM, dave <dave at ranteer.com> wrote:<!--

-->I’ve done this before, but its been a while. Is there a good step by step out there for pulling the engine and tran on a 72 MGB?_______________________________________________Mgs at autox.team.netDonate: http://www.team.net/donate.htmlSuggested annual donation  $12.75Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs http://autox.team.net/archiveUnsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/mgbobh@gmail.com
