From the MOSS site - it's Spridget box but essentially the same.

Welcome to the MMOC forum.... where Minor enthusiasts promote their favourite book brands....

... following the recommended reading I think I can call myself a gbox expert !!! thanks

It's straight forward enough - just try not to lose any of the little balls and springs!! Work over a tray - to catch any small bits that fall out!
Very best gearbox explanation is in Metro Haynes (£1 at Scout sale!) ) - although not all is relevant to Minor gearbox because it's a different selector arrangement - the general idea is the same.

Thing is with that book, is the 1st motion shaft removal explanation is completely wrong for later gearboxes. You will wreck the front casing trying to drive the shaft out.

If I can find my Haynes I will have a look later - but don't remember anything wrong with method. Why do you think it's wrong MT ?

Does anyone have an exploded view of the Dampers used in the morris minor (Lever type) and can you simply replace the seals in them? Mine seem to throw out all the oil I put in them

I have tried and failed in the past to get the arms off the dampers. There must be a way - but I don't know what it is. Exchange dampers are not expensive.

On Page 96 Para 15, Haynes say to place a rod in from the rear of the box (where the 3rd motion shaft came from) and drift the first motion shaft into the bellhousing. On the ribbed casing 1098 gearbox I worked on, the gear and syncro cone are milled as part of the first motion shaft, and there is simply not enough clearance for these parts to fit through the front casing. You simply tap the 1st motion shaft INTO the gearbox.

Hmm - can't remember how it was done now -but I do think inwards was the method I used (many years ago now) - but then I didn't have a Haynes to mislead me - I just followed my nose.
Mini lads call it HBOL - Haynes Book of Lies.

Yes indeed, if I had a pound for every mistake in my many Haynes Manuals I'd be a rich man. Sentences like "Retain Small Spring" ="Jees what was that, it nearly had my eye out".

Maybe they copied that from here then - it's been called that for donkeys years
