I thought that was a 4 synchro 1100S box with an 850 diff housing attached?

If the box is rebuild correctly it should handle the power you just won't have the syncros :? I reckon you use a late box with the 850 diff.

Better option to retain a magic wand with 1275 is a Mini K/Clubman Van box. They are your Mini K/'Mk2 Cooper S' box with a magic wand diff housing. You can obviously also run Mk2 Cooper S gears.

Are they also like the Moke? Not really Magic Wand but a short rod change with the gear stick closer to the firewall :?

I believe some early 850 boxes had bushes under the gears instead of roller bearings. You would want to be sure what's in it before you put a 1310 on it.

Don't see why the magic wand mechanism wouldn't work on a remote box though.

Its a 3 Synchro Box with an 850 diff housing.

The pudding stirrer is best gearshift in my opinion. I love it, its quicker than most once you get use to it.

Avoid the early 850 gearbox housing- to swing the 1275 rods you would need to cut 4 BIG HOLES in the front and weld or Araldite them over, amongst other mods.. :shock:
I did one years ago because it was all I had, I put 998 Cooper gears in it (needle rollers in the gears) too because I acquired a set... :lol:

so i'm best to go with the box that the 1310 was already on and change the diff housing so i can retain the magic wand yeah?

. . . and maybe some straight cut gears :lol:

I would use a Mini-K/Mk2S/1098 Clubby 4 synchro box, and put an 850 diff housing on it as Wombat did.
Note when it's bolted up, the bearing bores need checking for size & roundness.

The Morris 1100S box was 3 synchro, not 4.

The magic wand remote type as fitted to Mokes and pictured above is what I have stashed away to use on my Traveller. I refuse to cut a hole in the floor.
