Post subject: | 1970 Mini K gearbox |
Hi All, I am a bit of a way off needing the gearbox back in, (I am just starting the rust repairs at the moment) But I was wondering, the 1970 K should have the remote gearbox? Am I correct? mine was fitted with a rod change with inner CV's and I also got a spare rod change (and a spare 998 with a anti smog head). I am trying to make it as original as I can, but I would like peoples opinions on whether the rod change or remote box is a better item? If the rod change is a better box, I might stick with it. (still keeping the hydro and the 1100 though) ![]() Thanks in advance. |

Yes, a mini k has a 4 synchro remote box, case no 22G1128, with rubber uni joints. Doogie |

Remote change is the better product IMHO. But you may find the 'box Doogie mentions a bit hard to come by. |

Thanks guys. I will check around and see what I may be able to find. Still have some body panels to buy first. |

I would use a 4 synchro remote box. But unless you are hell bent on originality, I would use the pot joints. They are more durable then the rubber U/Js. |
