Re: 5speed dogleg gearbox manual

thanks for the support, i'm a mechanical engineer by trade so i'm reasonably confidant to give it a go, i'm hoping to just replace bearings and seals....

i have a 60L box in the car now its ok apart from a few things...:
1.sometimes difficult to get into 2nd when cold.
2.rough bearings type noise when engine running and in neutral, noise stops when clutch is pressed.
3,metallic chattering sound when engine breaking, especially in 5th gear.

so my idea is to check over this new box i got last week, replace the bearings/seals, fix any obvious issues such as missing teetch etc and swap them over.

I found a guy in the MG forum who has a copy of the gearbox service manual and he has promised to email it to me.....
