Best way to find out is to rev the crap out of it and drop the clutch. If a large section of aluminum drops out from under car.....it's remote change.

All Deluxes were remote shift, with no synchro on 1st gear. The Mini K in 1969 got the 4 synchro remote box. |

Just look on the ground under the car, if there is a pool of oil it is a rod change. |

ah, yes, built in rust proofing. Probably safer than the sandwich plate falling in half and the remote pitching into the hotmix.

You can tell a person that has a remote change model, he'll be the one that is franticly trying to select reverse whilst half way through 3 point turn in a busy street. |

The only good sandwich plates are the ones that don't have oil leaking on them destroying the rubber. Knowing how to drive has a big effect on them too. My one is still pretty good, it was on the car when I bought it in 1998. Back in the 80s I could kill one in a month! |

The thing that kills rubber real quick is oil. Unless it's Chinese made rubber, then just air will kill it. |

I'll bite...what's a sandwich plate??? I only allow the best olive oil near my lunch and i'm sure it doesn't hurt the plate.... We're not discussing 1100s are we? Cheers, Ian |

Attempts is correct, you can put a mini motor in a morris 1100 but a morris 1100 won't go in mini, (without panel beating or cutting) http://www.ausminispares.com.au/?_escap ... plate-1100 |

The real question is..."are the rear diff casing from a Mini and 1100 the same? ie can you redrill an 1100 casing to suit a Mini remote shift?? Cheers, Ian |
