No Mini 1100 motor in a MK1 shell - I want to put the magic wand diff housing on it - hope I can get as good a match as I've got with the current box

The 1100 engine is supposed to have a 4 synchro box attached so I got the 4 synchro kit an some other bearings not in the kit sent out from MS - nearly $500 worth. When I pulled the box apart it's a bleeding 3 synchro - layshaft is different some of the bearings are different so I'm at a bit of a wall. Cost too much to send the bits back - do I buy more bits (including some damaged gears) to rebuild the 3 synch box or do I buy a 4 synch box ? What would you pay for a 4 synchro box needing a rebuild? |

Not sure on what it's worth but I'd say go the 4 synchro option and rebuild it with the stuff you've bought , you'll definitely know what you've got then and a 4 synchro is that bit easier to drive if you have a lot of traffic lights . |

Ask around here Maybe someone has a gearbox that you can have fairly cheaply. The four syncho is a better box - they ironed out a few bugs by then. |

If they sent out the wrong kit shouldn't they be paying postage back? Shard |

No they sent what I ordered on the basis an 1100 has a 4 synchro box |

Try to get a 4 synchro I reckon. Obviously you want a remote box? Daniel |

Is this a morris 1100 Whilst everything is ultimately interchangable, the Morris 1100 has a different setup for the remote where it bolts up to the gear box |

i paid $300 for mine, that had no involvment from me though, took my 3 synchro box in too find out how much i was looking at for a rebuild, guy knew someone with a spare box, so for the price of getting my 3 syncrho rebuilt i got a 4 synchro with new bearings throughout and gearset that is in decent condition |

Don't know if it would work (maybe those with mokes can help), but the late model mokes had rod change that is similar to magic wand, I think it's got a really short selector rod etc practically bolted to the rear of the casing? Daniel |

It's sort of similar but still a bit long . We were looking at a similar idea with minivanman's rod change shifter into a magic wand hole , it will just fit with some stuffing around and you'd have to make up a new gear lever that was long enough and bent right but the biggest drama is the lift to change into reverse lock . It works alright on a normal gear lever directly above the shifter box but would be very difficult on a magic wand length gear lever . |

I have the necessaries to do the moke type change as well as the MK1 diff bits so I can go either way, Just need to make the decision to buy a 4 synhro box. I've been offered one for $300 complete with clutch housing which is attractive - just need to bite the bullet
