Oh, I am using a Jensen Healey speedometer cable in my Cricket and the fellow
at the Jensen Healey place called the trans a "Talbot" trans. That was not
quite true-the Hunters were gone by the time of the name change. However, you
are correct in that the Avenger/Cricket does have an integral bell housing. I
joked that my rare Plymouth Cricket used the same speedometer cable as a
"common" Jensen Healey.

No, the Jenson Healey used a Hunter transmision (lengthened SV trans)
and a Laycock J type OD.
Not an avenger transmision.
I read, (never saw) that the avenger used a "new" designed gearbox with
integral bellhousing.
Well the ZF trans might have been used in a BWM, but ZF was making
transmisions
for many european automakers at that time, including the Audi group, Opel
even
DeTomoso Pantera.
The ZF would be a viable replacement for the alpine trans were it not so
expensive to get one.
