just found some gearboxes that came out of cooper S's aparently.. are the cooper boxes
what are these worth ????? need a fairly quick answer if anyone has a clue, have to get back to him at lunchtime.

MK2's should be 22G1128 casing, but it's hard to tell if the gearset is actually Cooper S, cos the same casing was used for Mini K's. All I know is that when fitting a central oil pickup to these boxes, the cluster is really easy to get out of a K, and a bitch to get out of an S

depends if the seller has any clue about values of things, I vaguely recall someone advertising a MK2 box that needed a rebuild for $800, that matches up with what a MK2 block is worth (about $1200) but I've got 2 K boxes I tried to sell for $100 each and no takers

doesn't help much, but at least it's a quick answer

Only real difference inside between Mk2 S and Mini K boxes (not counting the diff)- the S's 1st motion shaft (22G1371) has 18T, the Mini K's 17T. `S' cluster gear is stamped `22G1040'. Diameter of the biggest gear on it is smaller to mesh with the bigger 1st motion shaft, but it has the same tooth count.

Look first at the cluster gear- if it's a 22G927, it's a Mini-K.
BTW, this Mini K box was also used in 1098 Clubbies up to `73. Clubman GT got the `S' box.

Simon, If you want to move your K boxes post them here- they are getting a bit scarce since people with rodchange boxes found that engine location is way better with a remote box.

I'm pretty sure Makka would take one, for a start.

<edit> p/nos etc added.
