Hi.
Can anyone identify this gearbox.
It’s been in my garage for over 25 years.
I know I removed it from my mgb, to fit a over-drive gearbox.
But when I look at pictures of a mgb gearbox, mines look different.

Thank you for your help.

Hi lemsip.
Thank you for your reply.
Yes I’m hoping it is a non over-drive gearbox from a mgb.
I’m just a bit confused, because from other pictures of non overdrive gearboxes from mgb’s it looks different.
Haha I am getting a bit old.

Hi all, thank you for your replies.
I’m not sure if it is a three synchro gearbox.
It’s from a K reg 1972 mgb roadster .

Yes that’s what I thought.
I’ve just looked on eBay. They have mgb gearboxes for sale.
And mines looks the same as a three synchro non overdrive gearbox.
Strange.

Thinking back 30 years.
I did swop a few things.
I converted a twin carb 1800cc Marina engine to a mgb engine spec.
And fitted that.
And then Swopped/fitted a over drive gearbox

It looks just like a 3 synchro non over drive . Which were fitted to early mgb’s.
Although mines is K reg 1971/72 mgb.
It may have had the Gearbox swapped to a early type gearbox, before I had it.
I’ve had it in the garage over 25 years.
Haha I won’t be using it in the future.
So I’ll just put it up for sale.
Thank you Limslip, Scrump, and Niva441 for all your help.
