NOTICE:
Dave Evans started our EBay parts sale program and has done a great job of getting our inventory of parts to the people who need them. However, now job responsibilities make it necessary for him to pass the job on. If you have basic computer skills and would like a chance to help the club this is your opportunity. Dave says the E-Bay part was not hard to learn and he's available to explain the program.

I have six (6) late model MGB overdrive tranmissions for sale: three (3) for chrome bumper cars 1968-1974 and three (3) for rubber bumper cars 1974 ½-1980. The transmissions were purchased from Andy Jenning’s Spares (www.mgcars.org.uk/andyjennings) an English salvage yard located near Southampton. The transmissions have been bench tested and run on a dynometer to check theoverdrive by Man=Trans (www.manual-transmissions.com), one of the leading remanufacturers of manual transmissions and transfer cases in the United States. Man-Trans is located in Tallahassee, Florida. I have recently installed an overdrive transmission in my 1971 MGB and am exceedingly pleased with it.
